I feel like this is a bit silly of me to ask but I can't quite find the answer for it anywhere on google. There is a rubber stopper with a hole where you can extract medication from it with an oral syringe. I'm unable to get the remainder out without taking out the rubber stopper, does removing it lessen the effectiveness of the antibiotic through more exposure to the air? This feels so obvious and something I should know but I don't want to assume and potentially have to extend my cats treatment by giving her medication that isn't operating at it's full potency. Was there any reason for it to be there outside of reducing the chance of spillage? I've worked around stoppers before with single-use syringes for a cat's diabetes treatment but I'm not understanding the purpose / I'm unsure if it's super easy to contaminate this?
