2. Remove syringe tip.
3. Turn the dial ring until the edge of the ring nearest the tip lines up with zero.
4. Fully depress plunger and discard expelled paste. Syringe is ready for dosing.
5. Each mark on the plunger rod corresponds to a dose of 2.3 mg/lb (5 mg/kg) for 250 lb body weight, or a dose of 4.6 mg/lb (10 mg/kg) for 125 lb body weight (the 10 mg/kg dose is for horses only).
Dial the ring edge nearest the tip back by the calculated number of marks on the plunger rod corresponding to the animal’s body weight.
