Reading a syringe
If your pet comes in for a visit at GAEVH and is sent home on medication, a member of our staff will go over the correct dosage with you, and instructions will be printed on the prescription label. In addition we can also provide a medication guide with an image depicting how to read a syringe.
It is important that you feel comfortable and understand how to read the markings on the syringe to avoid any medication dosing mistakes. It can be confusing to figure out the difference between 0.5 cc/mL and 0.05 cc/mL and it is a common mistake if you have never medicated your exotic pet before. If you get home and still have questions, give us a call and we would be happy to assist you.
