Pneu-Adventures Episode 4: SubQ vs. IM - How to Dial In Your Cannula Choice
Episode SummaryIn this episode of Pneu-Adventures, host Josh dives into the critical differences between subcutaneous (SubQ) and intramuscular (IM) injections in the remote delivery system space. Drawing from years of experience with white-tailed deer, Josh explains how to choose the right cannula (needle) length for various species, weights, and seasonal conditions. He shares real-world examples from deer farming and livestock management, emphasizing that needle size is not a one-size-fits-all decision. Whether you’re administering antibiotics to cattle or sedation to deer, this episode breaks down when to use ½-inch, ¾-inch, or 1-inch gel collar cannulas to ensure the most effective and humane delivery.Show NotesTopic: SubQ vs. IM – Choosing the Right Cannula Length in Remote DeliveryHost: Josh – White-tailed deer farmer & remote delivery expertKey Points Covered:Defining SubQ vs. IM:- SubQ (subcutaneous): Injection beneath the skin into the fatty layer.- IM (intramuscular): Injection deep into the muscle.Species & Weight Considerations:- Smaller animals (e.g., young deer, fawns): Shorter cannulas like ½-inch or ¾-inch.- Larger animals (e.g., 250–300 lb bucks, cattle): Longer cannulas, often 1-inch, for IM work.Seasonal Adjustments:- Winter coats & added fat may require longer cannulas for effective IM delivery.- Summer: Thinner hides and reduced fat make shorter cannulas sufficient.Application Examples:- Deer sedation: 1-inch for deep muscle injection in larger bucks.- Cattle antibiotics: ½-inch for consistent SubQ delivery in the neck region.Best Practices:- Match RDD volume and cannula length to species, size, and intended injection type.- Consider anatomy and seasonal changes before selecting equipment.Pro Tip:- The “ozone” spot (neck forward of the front shoulder) is ideal for SubQ in most livestock.
In this inspiring episode of Pneu-Adventures, host Josh sits down with ninth-generation farmer, animal science graduate, and professional photographer Ashlyn Clemmer Kerns. From her deep Shenandoah Valley roots to founding a thriving photography business, Ashlyn shares her journey of balancing legacy and passion. Tune in as they discuss her early love for agriculture, her time at Virginia Tech, working in the university's meat lab, and how Pneu-Dart remote delivery systems have been an essential tool for her family’s cow-calf operation. Ashlyn also opens up about her shift from aspiring veterinarian to full-time creative—and how she captures rural life through her lens.
