Feeding Instructions
By the oral route.
- Place the capsule at the back of the mouth, beyond the hump of the tongue, using a suitable dosing gun (e.g. the Cupric-Max dosing gun).
- To avoid injury, the dosing gun should be uses carefully and without force.
- Normal swallowing movements should allow the doser to be passed easily into the back of the mouth: the capsule may then be ejected and passage of the gun beyond this point is not necessary.
- Always check that the animal swallows the capsule.
