  • Title: A procedure for intravenous injection using external jugular vein in Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus).
    Author: Kakol Palm D, Holländer P.
    Journal: Lab Anim; 2007 Jul; 41(3):403-5. PubMed ID: 17640467.
    Abstract:
    The Mongolian gerbil is commonly used in medical research. Intravenous administration of compounds in gerbils is difficult as tail vein injection sites are not visible. The present study describes a method for intravenous administration into the jugular vein in Mongolian gerbil by using an 'over-the-needle' catheter under anaesthesia. The catheter penetrates the pectoral muscle and is easily inserted into the vein. The method is simple and avoids extensive surgery in the animals.
