I recommend that you go to your local farm and ranch supply for DHLPP and learn how to due subcutaneous, SubQ or intramuscular injections, IM. Look for Solo-jec-7 or for PEFORMER-SEVEN. You will have to go to the Vet for the Rabies shot since you will need official documentation to prove to the law it has been done. Good technique is important so I will supply a link to demonstrate how to inject properly.
