– Subcutaneous: Probably the least discomforting route of injection. Often preferred<br />
in all species incl. small animals. Also possible in painful areas and at the acupuncture<br />
points, often taking effect after a few minutes.<br />
– Intramuscular: The onset is slower. Often preferred in farm animals.<br />
– Intradermal: The suggested way when neural effects are required. Injected in nerve<br />
segments or over the affected area.<br />
– Local and pericapsular infiltrations: Help to solve an important clinical problem:<br />
the treatment of continued pain associated with musculoskeletal lesions, requiring<br />
some substance with analgesic properties that may be used successively over long<br />
periods of time and has no undesirable side effects.<br />
– Intralesional or perifocal: For example, on occasions before suturing one can<br />
empty the contents of the ampoule (injectable) into the surgical wound or make<br />
little papules in the edges of the incision.<br />
– Progressive auto-sanguis therapy: Also known as the gradual autohemotherapy,<br />
an innovation contributed by Reckeweg to the autohematic method described by<br />
Haferkamp. Basically, one can define it as a biotherapy consisting of injecting the<br />
patient intramuscularly with his own blood combined with appropriate homeopathic<br />
remedies (see specific literature). Generally practised in chronic diseases, dermatosis<br />
and autoallergic processes.<br />
Recommendations<br />
The lumen or perimeter of the injecting needle may be reduced, since the vehicle of the<br />
injectable homeopathic remedies is of low viscosity. This aspect associated with the<br />
character of the substance (not irritating) means that the injection is not painful.<br />
Antihomotoxic medication must not be mixed in the same syringe with conventional<br />
medicines. Antihomotoxic medicines should be administered first.<br />
Heel veterinary medications<br />
• Probiotic<br />
• Very well tolerated. Excellent benefit-risk ratio<br />
• No restrictions on age or length of treatment<br />
• Treatment compatible with antibiotic therapy, antiparasite treatments, herbal medicine,<br />
