    Is the tip of the syringe counted in the volume of medicine you draw up? If so, I'm not giving it all because there's still medicine in the tip when the plunger is all the way in. Do I worry about that or just forget about it?

    i wouldn't worry to much if some is left in the tip. i don't think it's measured from the tip

    I don't worry much about the tip but I also try and use the smallest syringe possible to minimize what is "left behind".

    I never worried about what was in the tip, it's such a minute amount.

    I wouldn't worry about it. Heck Roe ends up spitting or dribbling half of his out anyway... :rolleyes:

    I wouldn't worry about it either- I don't think it is counted in what is drawn up :D

    No, the tip is not counted. There will always be some left there with oral syringes and injectable syringes, don't worry about it.
