NEEDLES STAINLESS STEEL DOCTOR 18G X 3/4" NEEDLES SHOOF 204824-12P

Attach the needle to a sterile syringe, draw up the required dose of medication, then insert subcutaneously or intramuscularly as appropriate for the drug and animal. 18G x 3/4" (19mm) is suited to subcutaneous (under-skin) injections in cattle, sheep, and goats, or intramuscular use in small lambs and calves. Hold the syringe steady and depress the plunger smoothly. Dispose of needles safely into a sharps container after each use — never recap or reuse. Tips: Always check the needle gauge and length match the injection route and animal species for the drug you're administering — the product label will specify whether SC or IM injection is required. Stainless steel doctor needles are reusable if sterilised properly between animals, but single use is the safest protocol. Keep a range of gauges in your vet kit — thinner needles (18G) for SC injections, larger bore (16G) for IM in cattle.
