How is Medication Given?
1) Hold applicator tube in an upright position. You should be able to view the lot number and expiration date printed on the bottom. 2) Bend back and snap off the applicator tip. 3) Part your dog's hair along his or her back. The skin should be accessible and visible. Apply in front of the shoulder blades at the base of the dog's neck. 4) Place the tip of the applicator against your dog's skin and squeeze 3 to 4 times. This should dispense the full contents in one location. 5) Keep the tube squeezed and drag the tube away, lifting as you remove it from the skin. 6) Verify that the applicator tube is empty.
Tips:
Do not apply to a wet coat. Do not massage into skin. Do not allow contact with human skin. Discard empty tube properly (in your usual household refuse). Wait 24 hours before shampooing or bathing your pet. Do not apply on broken skin. Follow your veterinarian's directions when using this product. Hair discoloration, stiffness, residue, or clumping could occur at the application site.
None of these symptoms are cause for concern. They are common occurrences that disappear on their own.
