This week I learned about diseases, needles, injections , and syringes. There are a lot of disease out there. We talked about the different kinds and how many times you need to vaccinate your animal. We talked about how the disease are caused. The symptoms and the transmission.
There are many different places to put the vaccine in the animal. there is oral with is the mouth, nasal(up the nose), sub-Q (in the neck), IV ( in the vane), Ip ( on the side of the animal) IM ( back of the leg.) There are several types of syringes that we talked about also. There is the lure-lok, slip tip, eccentric, and catheter tip. The different parts of the spring is the needle, hub,barrel,and the plunger,
the smaller the gauge the larger the needle. The most common gauges are 16,18, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 27. We learned the the large gauge are for bigger animals. And the small gauge are for smaller animals. The common sizes of syringes. are 1, 3,6,12, 20, 30, and 60 ml. In the picture below we used luar-lok syringe to put colored water into an orange. We did the sub-Q, I-M and I-D.
