A subcutaneous injection should be made by pinching up a fold of the skin between the thumb and forefinger. The mid-neck region is the preferred injection site. Insert the needle under the fold in a direction approximately parallel to the surface of the body. When the needle is inserted in this manner, the medication will be delivered underneath the skin between the skin and the muscles. Use a chute and nose lead for proper administration of the product.

Penicillin is a intermuscular shot to be given in the thigh area or can also be given in the neck muscles. It would be less painful in the thigh.
