What tool is used to squirt medicine between the teeth and gums of animals?

The correct choice for the tool used to squirt medicine between the teeth and gums of animals is the drench gun. A drench gun is specifically designed to administer liquid medications directly into the mouth of an animal, allowing for precise targeting of the medication between the teeth and gums. This method is particularly useful in ensuring that the medicine is delivered effectively and can be absorbed in the oral cavity, thereby providing a quicker therapeutic effect.

In veterinary practice, especially for animals that may be difficult to medicate or those that require oral treatments, the drench gun offers a straightforward way to administer the dosage needed without risking choking or aspiration. The design of the drench gun often allows for a controlled release of the medication, minimizing stress for the animal.

While a syringe can also be used to administer liquids, it generally does not have the same level of control or ease of use for squiring medication specifically between teeth and gums as a drench gun. A feeding tube is primarily used for delivering nutrition rather than medication and would not be specifically designed for oral administration in the same manner. A medication dispenser might imply a variety of tools used for different forms of administration, but it lacks the specificity and application of a drench gun for this particular action.
