Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow an animal to be administered a dose to surely swallow the administered dose by easily inserting medicine into the deep part of the mouse of the animal. <P>SOLUTION: An oral dosage apparatus for the animal comprises: a grip part (G); a cervical duct part (N) with a medicine holding part (H) arranged at the distal end; a cylinder part (C) disposed in the grip (G); a piston part (P) in the cylinder part (C); and a rod (R) which is attached to the piston part (P), put through the cervical duct part (N), and allowed to face the medicine holding part (H) at the distal end, so as to push out the medicine. The piston part (P) includes a lever (L) to be driven from the outer part of the grip part (G). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to an oral dosage device for animals.

  FIG. 4 shows a conventional oral dosage device for small animals (hereinafter referred to as a dosage device) used when orally administering small animals (dogs, cats, rabbits, etc.) raised as pets for the purpose of disease treatment and prevention. Show. The overall shape is a straight line, and is composed of an outer tube (A) provided with a medicine holding (C) at the tip, and an inner tube (B) inserted therein. The inner cylinder {circle around (B)} is an operation portion that pushes out the medicine held in the medicine holding portion {circle around (C)} in the axial direction thereof. (See Patent Document 1)

Since the conventional dispensing device has the above-described configuration, for example, when dispensing to a cat, as shown in FIG. 5, the head is grasped and pressed from the top of the cat, and the nose is opened directly upward. Is inserted deep into the mouth from the front.
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 55-156721

  The dispenser is used when the drug cannot be administered with food or when manual dosing is not possible. However, in the case of the conventional prescription device, since the head is grasped and held forcibly as shown in the example of the cat in FIG. 5, a rejection reaction occurs. Furthermore, since such a rod-shaped prescription device is inserted into the mouth from the front to be visually observed, it is frustrated by anxiety and discomfort and tries to dispel it with the forelimbs. For this reason, it cannot be administered well. This situation precludes continuous treatment by oral medication and separates life and death.

Considering the above-mentioned problems, it is not necessary to forcibly hold the body or the head to make oral administration using a dispenser easy and reliable. It is sufficient that it can be inserted quickly and deeply into the mouth.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an oral dosage device for animals that does not require compulsory retention, can be inserted deeply into the mouth from a position where it cannot be seen, and can be quickly administered.

  The oral administration device for animals of the present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problems, and includes a grip ▲ G ▼, a cervical canal ▲ N ▼ provided with a drug holding portion ▲ H ▼ at the tip, and a grip ▲ G ▼ Cylinder part ▲ C ▼, piston part ▲ P ▼ in it, attached to the piston part ▲ P ▼, inserted through the cervical canal part ▲ N ▼, the tip part to the drug holding part ▲ H ▼ The piston portion {circle around (R)} that pushes out the medicine that is faced is provided with a lever {L} that drives the piston portion {circle around (P)} from the outside of the grip portion {circle around (G)}.

  According to the oral dosage device for animals of the present invention, without compulsory retention, the device is not visually observed, the shape of the drug holding part can be quickly inserted deep inside the mouth, and water that enhances the swallowing effect of the drug can be simultaneously administered. Anyone can easily and reliably take oral medications.

  FIG. 1 is a side view of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view thereof.

  In FIG. 2, (G) is a grip part, (N) is a cervical canal part extending from the grip part (G), and its tip is a drug holding part (H). ▲ C ▼ is a cylinder portion ▲ C ▼ in the grip portion ▲ G ▼. ▲ R ▼ is a rod that pushes out the medicine, attached to the piston part ▲ P, inserted through the cervical canal part ▲ N, and facing the medicine holding part ▲ H. ▲ L ▼ is a lever for driving the piston ▲ P and the rod ▲ R from the outside of the grip ▲ G.

  Next, the operation method of this device will be described. First, the preparation of the dosing device will be explained with reference to FIG. 2. The medicine holding part ▲ H is put in water, the lever ▲ L ▼ is pulled forward, and the water is stored in the cylinder ▲ C ▼ and the cervical canal ▲ N ▼. . The amount of water can be adjusted by adjusting the lever ▲ L ▼. After the water is stored, the medicine is pushed into the medicine holding part (H) from the tip to prepare the dosing device.

  Next, taking the case of administering to a cat as an example, as shown in FIG. 3, the cat is placed on the knee and supported by the lower jaw from the neck so as to hold the body from the tail side of the cat with one hand. Then, the present administration device is inserted into the mouth from the side of the cat's mouth from behind with the other hand, and the drug and water are administered simultaneously by pushing up the lever.

  As described above, anxiety and discomfort are alleviated and are not resisted, and the medicine can be easily administered deep inside the mouth because the prescription device is inserted from the side of the mouth. Furthermore, water can be administered simultaneously with drug administration, so that the pharynx is stimulated and the drug is surely swallowed.
