These simple steps should help
you successfully and properly dose your horse with ZIMECTERIN®
(ivermectin).
1. Slide the ring on the plunger to the prescribed weight marking,
locking it by turning 1/4 - turn to the right.
2. Make sure your horses mouth is clear of food.
Some experts suggest rinsing out the mouth with clean water to remove all debris.
Uncap the syringe immediately before inserting in the horses
mouth.
3. Insert the ZIMECTERIN syringe tip as far back in the
mouth as possible at the space between the teeth.
4. Deposit the ZIMECTERIN paste, by depressing the plunger,
as far back as you can on your horses tongue.
5. Immediately raise your horses head for a few
seconds to a position where he cannot spit it out.
*NOTE Wait and watch your horse to be sure he doesnt spit
it out. Wait for at least 20 minutes before feeding. If your horse
is holding ZIMECTERIN paste in his cheek pouches, it may mix with
the feed making it easier to spit out.
If you do have difficulties dosing your horse, talk to a fellow
horseman for other ideas or proven strategies. Or consult your veterinarian.
