Good article! I use the syringe method to administer Bute powder and figured out how to fill it easily. Remove the plunger. With finger over the tip, fill from the open end: 1 oz light Karo corn syrup; use a small funnel in the open end and pour in the dosage of Bute powder (one scoop (1 oz) for my 1000 lb horse). Tap the funnel until all powder goes into the tube. Add a little water (about 2 tablespoons), insert the plunger to block the top, turn the syringe with the tip up and let the air rise through the tip (it will push out a little of the corn syrup.) Push the plunger in a little more, put your finger over the tip and shake thoroughly. My horse comes willingly when she sees this treat. I don’t even need to put a halter on her as she will stand there and slurp every last bit. I make sure to put the syringe in the side of her mouth, otherwise she bites the syringe and tries to take it away from me. I wash the syringe in hot water and reuse as long as it’s in good shape. If the plunger gets to where it doesn’t slide easily, I use my finger and wipe a little vegetable shortening inside the syringe tube, before filling it. Works like a charm!
