Veterinary syringe for multiple injections

A syringe cartridge applicator for dispensing a fluid from a syringe cartridge, the syringe cartridge applicator comprising:

• an applicator trigger, a syringe cartridge holding assembly, and a plunger assembly;
• wherein the applicator trigger is pivotally coupled by a pivot means to the syringe cartridge holding assembly, and the applicator trigger is moveable in a first direction from an extended position to a retracted position;
• wherein the applicator trigger is operably attached to the plunger assembly so that movement of the applicator trigger from the extended position to the retracted position results in the plunger assembly driving the fluid from the syringe cartridge;
• wherein the syringe cartridge holding assembly is adapted to removably receive the syringe cartridge, and to hold the syringe cartridge in a dispensing position such that a longitudinal axis of the syringe cartridge is inclined at a predetermined angle relative to the first direction;
• wherein the predetermined angle is greater than about 75 degrees and less than about 105 degrees;
• wherein when a syringe cartridge is in the dispensing position, the predetermined angle is substantially a right angle;
• and
• wherein the syringe cartridge applicator includes a guide assembly for slidingly receiving a syringe cartridge in a loading direction oriented substantially parallel to the first direction.
