Injection

Injection: The process by which liquid medicines are put into some part of the body. It may be subcutaneous or hypodermic, when simply directed beneath the skin. The best place on a cat's body is the flank adjacent to the kidneys after the skin has been caught up into a fold by the owner's fingers. When giving an animal injections, it is a good plan for one or two people to hold the cat down because it will struggle to escape the needle.
