Abstract: A medicament application device for using with a medicament container includes a plate (18) defining at least one hole (26) therethrough, a connector (20) extending from a bottom side of the plate to a proximal end, and a medicament applicator (22) detachably attached to a top side of the plate. The medicament applicator is made from a fluid permeable material. The proximal end of the connector is adapted for connecting to an opening of the medicament container. The connector defines an inner channel, which is in fluid communication with the opening of the container and the hole of the plate.
Abstract: A formulation for treating and preventing roundworm infestations in horses, dogs, cats, and other animals is provided. This formulation includes an agent effective against nematodes, wherein the agent is pyrantel, morantel, any salt thereof, or any combination thereof. Preferably, the formulation additionally includes an agent effective against nematodes and obligate parasitic flies, an edible non-aqueous liquid and a thickening agent. The formulation of the present invention allows for a high concentration of the agent effective against nematodes and for the treatment of roundworms, particularly ascarids, that have become resistant to at least one agent typically effective against nematodes.
