How are medications administered?
Medications are administered in a variety of ways based on the health of the animal. Some medication is given by injection, which requires several people to be available to restrain the animal. If the animal is eating, medication is inserted into the fish along with vitamins and salt tablets during feeding. If the animal is receiving formula, pills are ground up and added to the formula.

In Level One a resident may administer their own medication, which they keep in their apartment. In Level Two we offer medication monitoring where a trained staff member may assist with self-administration. Level three offers medication administration by a licensed nurse.
