Woimerinmilk?
A reader asks:
Does wormer, TBZ and/or
Tramisol, given to a nursing doe
also worm the young through the
milk? How does it affect the milk
as far as giving it to dogs, cats and
chickens? Does it act as a wormer
for them also?
Dr. Biegel comments:
Wormer that is administered to a
nursing doe does not worm the
young through the milk. Although
a small amount of the wormer
given to a doe will come through in
the milk, the amount is so small it
would be ineffective as a wormer
in anything which might drink the
milk.

As far as giving the milk to dogs
and cats, it probably will not ham
these animals unless there may be
some allergy to the medication.
But again, as a wonner, the same
applies mainly, quantity of
wonner in the milk is too small to
affect any parasites in an animal
drinking the milk. ,
Shooting shots
A reader asks:
When I have to give my cattle IM
shots, I generally put them in the
neck. Sometimes, however, with
all the loose skin, I can’t tell if I’m
far enough in the muscle or just
through the skin If I’m not far

enough in the muscle, will the
medication still work? The needle
is about an inch long.
Dr. Riegel comments:
Whether the medication still
works depends on the type you’re
administering.
There are some medications that
work just as well or sometimes
better if given subcutaneously
(just under the skin). On the other
hand, there are some medications
which must be given deep in
tramuscularly.
This brings to mind a case 1 had
a few years ago.
One of our clients had several
cattle which died, and on post
mortum exam had Clostridium

in the absence ot air) in a large
bruised area in the hind quarters. -
After much questioning, it was
found the client gave iron shots
(very irritating substance) with a
half inch needle. The medication
was barely getting through the
skin and definitely not deep m the
muscle where it belonged.
The irritating substance caused
a large bruised area, creating a
perfect media for bacteria to grow.

The loose skin in the neck makes
a perfect area for subcutaneous
injections. But for injections which
must be .put in the muscle, aj%
inch needle is needed to assure the
medication is getting in the
muscle.
Perhaps another site could be
considered.for these types of shots,
such’ as the top of the rump or
another part of the rear quartet'.
