Injection site is roughly upper 3rd of the body, the doctor jokingly called it the shoulder, and he said to run along the "alien eyes" area. Its odd since I watched him give the shot in the muscle yet when i asked he said doesn't matter and the medicine bottle said under the skin.
The injection is actually the result of a severe burn we are treating. No cultures were taken (to my knowledge) and I am giving her .2 cc every 72 hours I could split them, but honestly its such a small amount and I am not very comfortable doing it, I like getting it done as smooth and quick as possible.
The only reason I was concerned is I saw no swelling the frist 3 injections I gave, or the after the 2 the doctor gave her. I am hoping I didn't do it wrong. She moved around a good bit and I had to "follow" her with the syringe to keep from loosing my grip. I was concerned I might have cause a small internal cut on the muscle of dermis as a result of her "fighting back"
I looked today and the swollen area is still there though not near as prevalent.
