Don't know your pet's weight?

If you can't get them on the scale, try this super simple method:

  1. Weigh yourself.
  2. Weigh yourself holding your pet.
  3. Subtract the two numbers to get their weight.

Too heavy to hold? Your vet will weigh them if you ask (or may already have it on file if you call).

    Directions

    The standard Zimecterin dosage is 91mcg of medication taken for each lb of body weight. The weight markings on the syringe plunger indicate enough to treat 250lb of body weight.

    Take the plunger in hand and turn the knurled ring a turn to the left and slide it so that the nearest barrel is at the prescribed weight marking.

    Now make a turn to the right to lock the barrel back in place.

    Check to confirm the horse's mouth does not have feed in it.

    Remove the syringe's tip cover and place the tip into the horse's mouth and in the space between teeth.

    Depress the plunger and push it down as far as possible to dispense the entirety of the medication onto the back of the horse's tongue.

    Raise the horse's head for a few seconds after dosing.
