2ml for cats & 5ml for dogs... hopefully you were talking veterinary :)
No LPNs can not give any IM injections.
For HI2 it is IM
There really isn't a limit to the number of subcutaneous or intramuscular injections you can get. It can, however, be difficult to find a good vein for more than a couple of intravenous injections.
The max amount for IM injection is 2.0 ml for older children. The max amount for IM injections for younger children and children with a compromised immune system is 1.0 ml.
Subcutaneous (SC) injections are administered into the fatty tissue just beneath the skin, allowing for slower absorption of the medication. In contrast, intramuscular (IM) injections are delivered directly into a muscle, resulting in a quicker absorption due to the rich blood supply in muscle tissue. The choice between SC and IM injections often depends on the medication's formulation and desired effect. Additionally, SC injections typically use smaller needles and involve less discomfort than IM injections.
The abbreviation "ther proph diag inj sc im" likely refers to therapeutic prophylaxis, diagnostic injections, subcutaneous (sc), and intramuscular (im) injections. Therapeutic prophylaxis involves treatment to prevent disease, while diagnostic injections are used to determine the presence of a condition. Subcutaneous and intramuscular injections are methods of delivering medication, with subcutaneous injections administered into the fatty tissue just under the skin and intramuscular injections delivered directly into the muscle.
Yes, the Hamstring muscle is a common site for giving an IM injection to a canine. Be sure to watch of for the Sciatic nerve!
No it is a Sub-q injection, you only aspirate on IM injections.

Usually, the vehicle used for a intramuscular drug contains oil or a "fatty liquid". The amount of liquid injected is generally bigger in an IM injection and the drug might also be more irritative. The nail used is generally bigger and longer. For these reasons, almost all IM injections are more painful than SC injections.
Im assuming you are asking at what angle should you inject using the IM method. Which is at a 90 degree angle.
