Directions for Use

Set the Dose

• Position the Syringe Correctly: Hold the syringe with the capped end left, ensuring the weight measurements and tick marks are visible.
• Align Dial Ring with Animal's Weight: Turn the white dial ring until it aligns with the animal’s weight, as shown in the diagram.
• Use Tick Marks for Weight Adjustments: Each small black tick mark corresponds to 50 pounds of body weight for accurate dosing.

Give Quest Plus Equine Gel to a Horse or Pony

• Ensure No Feed in Mouth: Before administering, make sure there is no feed in the horse's mouth for effective dosing.
• Remove the Syringe Cap: Take off the cap from the syringe’s end and keep it for reuse after administering.
• Position Syringe in Animal's Mouth: Place the syringe tip between the teeth, ensuring correct placement for effective gel administration.
• Administer the Gel: Gently push the plunger until it stops, depositing the gel at the back of the tongue.
• Encourage Swallowing: Remove the syringe and slightly raise the animal's head to make sure the gel is swallowed.
• Replace Syringe Cap: After use, securely replace the syringe cap for storage and future applications.

Treat a Second Horse or Pony with the Same Syringe

• Use Leftover Gel for Second Horse: If the first horse weighs less than 1500 lb, you can use remaining gel for another animal.
• Add Animal’s Weight to Syringe Setting: To set the next dose, add the new animal’s weight to the existing syringe setting.
• Adjust Dial for Accurate Dose: For a 500 lb horse after treating a 250 lb animal, adjust the dial to 750 lb.
• Multiple Syringes for Heavier Horses: For animals over 1500 lb, you will need more than one syringe to administer the full dose.
