Subject: [Ferret-Health-list] vaccine question for the vets 
            please
             My understanding that they are given in the hind leg, so that 
                  if there is any sign of cancer due to the vaccine the whole 
                  leg can be amputated.

                    My vet prefers to give vaccinations in the scruff because 
                    she feels that
                    injections given in the muscle have more chance of a 
                    reaction than those
                    injected under the skin.
                    I have read that there is less of a chance of a reaction if 
                    vaccines are
                    given in the hind leg, instead of in the scruff. When given 
                    in the hind leg,
                    is the injection given S.C. or I.M?
