TB500 Site injections

grizzly978 · Sep 16, 2013

Does it really matter where the TB500 is pinned? Does it need to be site injected or does it have a systematic effect? I have done the research but get differing opinions.

I personally dont think that it does matter, but it certainly cant hurt to inject your rat at the site of a specific injury if healing is the goal.

For research it doesn't matter much, imo, but I believe it's better to do side injections just in case. In my lab we always do site injections just in case.

I like your style! Too bad my main issues are my spine (disks and nerves) and enter articular degeneration (knee and hip), and my lower intestine and colon...

Its damn hard to effectively and safely site inject those areas. I have drained my own knee a few times so I guess I could pull off a knee shot. But F shooting my hip!!! Just going to have to get as close as I can.

My rat also has hip issues and I rotate between shooting sub q into his glutes and front thigh
