Bolus Gun
In stock
A bolus gun (often called a balling gun) is a specialized veterinary instrument used to safely and efficiently administer large solid medications, nutritional supplements, or magnets to animals. It places the dose directly over the tongue into the esophagus, preventing the animal from spitting it out.

Specs & features.
The device resembles a long, narrow tube with a handle at one end and a holding chamber (or "cup") at the other. Inside the barrel runs a piston or plunger. The operator places the bolus into the cup, inserts the gun into the side of the animal’s mouth, and presses the plunger to release the medication into the throat so the animal's natural swallowing reflex takes over.
