Always use sterile needles and syringes. Non-sterile equipment may cause abscesses at the site of injection. Care should be used in maintaining the sterility of the solution. The contents should be used as soon as possible after the seal has been broken. It is recommended that the cap be wiped with alcohol prior to withdrawing any solution.

If the condition persists, a veterinarian should be consulted. Follow the recommended dosage carefully.
