Method of administration:
Cat and rabbits
Hold the pipette upright. Tap the narrow part of the pipette to ensure the contents remain within the main body of the pipette. Snap back the tip. Part the hair on the animal’s neck at the base of the skull until the skin is visible.
Place the tip of the pipette on the skin and squeeze the pipette several times to empty its contents completely and directly onto the skin in one spot. Correct application will minimise the opportunity for the animal to lick the product.
Dogs
Hold the pipette upright. Tap the narrow part of the pipette to ensure the contents remain within the main body of the pipette. Snap back the tip. With the dog in the standing position, part the coat between the shoulder blades until the skin is visible.
Place the tip of the pipette on the skin and squeeze the pipette several times to empty its contents completely and directly onto the skin in one spot. Correct application will minimise the opportunity for the animal to lick the product.
Adverse reactions
The product is bitter tasting and salivation may occasionally occur if the animal licks the application site immediately after treatment. This is not a sign of intoxication and disappears within some minutes without treatment.
In very rare occasions (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals, including isolated reports) skin reactions such as hair loss, redness, itching and skin lesions may occur.
Agitation has also been reported. Excessive salivation and nervous signs such as incoordination, tremors and depression have been reported but exceptionally in cats.
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:
- very common (more than 1 in 10 animals treated displaying adverse reaction(s))
- common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 100 animals treated)
- uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 1,000 animals treated)
- rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals treated)
- very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals treated, including isolated reports).
