If possible, warm solution to body temperature, prior to injection. Snap the tip off the plug, ensuring the solution can flow freely and connect the sterile needle provided. Disinfect the injection site and insert the needle under the skin of the neck or over the ribs. Gently squeeze the bag to inject the contents. The area may be massaged following injection to allow for quicker absorption of the solution. Large volumes should be distributed over more than one injection site. If complete recovery does not occur within 3-4 hours repeat injection and seek veterinary advice.
Note:
Minbal 4 in 1 should be used when the animal does not respond to Rudduck Double-Cal as the animal may be lacking in other minerals.
