    Did the Vet hurt my hen??

    The Vet gave my hen her first shot of LA-200. She gave it in the thigh and not the breast. Said to give 1.5ml daily for next 2 days. When we got home she was bloody! I had to apply pressure. Today if I touch it she whips her head to it. Her thigh is deep black. Is she in danger?
