    If its a thin fluid like a vaccine I use the short 21gauge needles. Far easier on man and beast.

    I meant to give the 21 gauge a go after BB recommended them before, but I use a 16 gauge 1" or 3/4" for Sub Cut.

    I'd go 16g so. The doses can be a bit viscous, particularly in cold weather.

    I am gonna try the 21g some of these times.

    sub cuta is a job for a 1/2 inch 16 gauge when dosing imo .. buy plenty and change often for what its worth
