Abstract
The invention concerns a syringe for administering medication to an animal. The syringe includes a handle that may be manually actuated to dispense medication to the animal. The syringe also includes a valve that controls the flow of medication both into and out of the syringe. A sensor device on the syringe monitors when the medication has been administered in order to inform any attached pump that the syringe may be refilled. An LED informs the user when the syringe has been filled with medication and is ready for the administration of medication to the animal.
