RESUMO
We describe a simple and feasible procedure for performing intravenous administration of substances in the gerbil. Under light anaesthesia, animals were held in dorsal recumbency and a very small incision of skin, parallel to the femoral vein on the internal side of the thigh, was made. The vein is easily accessible via thin skin incision. An insulin syringe and a 30 G needle were used for the injection. This is an easy and quick method, which, with appropriate anaesthesia, allows rapid recovery.
