• Turn the dial ring until the edge of the ring nearest the tip of the syringe lines up with the dose to be delivered.

• Remove the syringe cap.

• Make sure the horse’s mouth is free of food or other obstructions.

• Insert the nozzle of the syringe through the interdental space of the horse’s mouth and deposit the gel on the back of the tongue by depressing the plunger.

• Recap the syringe. This is a 25 cc multi-dose syringe. Please note that for subsequent doses, it will be necessary to adjust for previous doses. For example, if the intended dose for a horse is 5 cc, then the dial ring is set at 5 cc for the first dose, at 10 cc for the second dose, at 15 cc for the third dose, at 20 cc for the fourth dose, and at 25 cc for the fifth dose.
