A medical application system and method for animals for delivering topical medication to the skin of an animal includes a propulsion device and a frangible capsule containing topical medication in liquid form. In a preferred embodiment the medication is an insecticide and is mixed with an oil based paint. In an alternate embodiment for medicating sheep the liquid is preferably a water based paint to prevent staining of the wool. It is also preferred that the propulsion device be a pump style pellet gun for allowing adjustment of the propulsion force provided to the capsule such that the capsule will impact the animal with sufficient force to break the capsule without harming the animal. In a most preferred embodiment, the capsule further contains a pellet for facilitating breakage of the capsule when the capsule impacts the animal.
