OUCH!
I am a veterinarian working with wildlife... this happened about 3 years ago. A week and a half ago I got called out to a zoo for a tiger that was not eating and lethargic. After immobilisation we did a full work up, X-rays and blood work. Later the bloodwork showed a mild infection so treatment with antibiotics was indicated. Oral treatment wasn’t an option so we had to dart 5 mls of long-acting antibiotics in a big dart (big heavy dart with big needle). The tiger was unfortunately 15-20 meters away in its enclosure, so it was already a bit of a tricky shot. To make matters worse, there were 2 students and staff around looking over my shoulders. Position, aim, shoot and oops, in the balls instead of the upper thigh area.
