Abstract
A method for veterinary administration of medication to an animal, particularly a horse, is disclosed. The method involves inserting a capsule containing the medication, which is a liquid formulation, into a device connected to a tubular chamber. An atomizer is activated to atomize the medication, producing atomized medication. Before administration, a force is applied to a mask placed over the animal's muzzle, connected to the chamber. The atomized medication is then delivered to the animal. The liquid formulation, in some instances, comprises cells, cellular byproducts, or cell-derived products such as stem cells or products from human mesenchymal stem cells. This formulation may lack preservatives and may encompass peptides, proteins, growth factors, cytokines, exosomes, and extracellular vesicles. The delivery mechanism may involve deflating an air bladder to convey the atomized medication. The capsule allows for controlled transfer of the medication between chambers within it, facilitated by removing barriers and applying force.
