A friend and I were talking about Dex. I always have the powder on hand. She has the liquid. I couldn't remember, but thought my vet always administered it IV not IM.

So, the question is....do you give the liquid IV or IM and can you just put it in their mouth?

Thanks all! :)

I have a horse at my farm that gets 5cc of the liquid in her food each day per the vet.
As for injection, I have always given it IV

Friend and I each have a horse on the liquid and it is put in the feed. Was never instructed to inject it. Started at 7cc a day and now down to 5cc every other day.
