On the injection site? Sorry im confused.
deltoid
No, this would be a relatively uncommon site for an intramuscular injection in most animal species.
The advantages of the deltoid intramuscular injection is that as said before is easy accessible and patients are generally a lot more comfortable with exposing their arms as opposed to another body area. Disadvantages to this site are the size of the muscle mass is small in relation to other IM injection sites.
Vastus Lateralis, IM
The gluteus maximus muscle is located in the buttocks and is a common site for intramuscular (IM) injections. To administer an IM injection in the gluteus maximus, locate the upper outer quadrant of the buttocks and aim for the center of that area. It is important to ensure proper needle insertion depth and angle to avoid injury to underlying structures.
If injected it is given in the muscle as an intramuscular injection. It can also be taken as a nasal mist that is sniffed.
If by injection types you are referring to IM, SQ, IV etc. the reason can be to prolong the action of the drug, decrease the possibility of an injection site reaction, or in some instances a systemic reaction or even anaphylactic shock.
No, the hamstrings are not a common site for giving intramuscular injections to dogs. Common sites for IM injections in dogs include the muscles of the neck, quadriceps, and lumbar region.

Intramuscular injection involves placing the medication directly into the belly of a muscle.
