Beaphar Lactol Feeding Syringes for Kittens, Puppies and Small Animals - 2x12ml
Beaphar Feeding Syringes are invaluable for anyone trying to hand-rear or wean, newborn, orphaned, young or weak pets or small animals.
The syringes are made of clear plastic with easy to read measurement markings and a smooth plunger for controlled, gentle feeding.
This pack contains two 12ml syringes, one with a narrow nozzle for slow feeding and one with a wide nozzle for faster feeding, and is ideal for feeding Beaphar Lactol Milk Replacer for Kittens or Puppies, or Beaphar Small Animal Milk. The Beaphar Feeding Syringes can also be used with other milk replacement products.
Suitable for nursing weak or very young animals, including kittens, puppies, baby rabbits, baby guinea pigs, baby chipmunks etc. It is also suitable for drip-feeding (feeding drop by drop) if animals will not suckle and for feeding sick or recuperating animals.
Key Benefits:
- For Use With Any Milk Replacer: Beaphar Lactol Feeding Syringes are for use with Beaphar Lactol Kitten Milk or Puppy Milk, or Beaphar Small Animal Milk, but can be used with any animal milk replacer
- Ideal For Hand-Rearing: Helps support newborn, underweight and orphaned kittens, puppies and other small animals. The Beaphar Lactol Feeding Syringes can also be used for feeding sick or recuperating animals
- Specially Designed For Young Animals: The syringes have been designed for feeding newborn and growing pets and wildlife (kittens, puppies, guinea pigs, rabbits, hedgehogs etc.)
- 2 Syringes In One Box: Contains two 12ml syringes with measurement markings and a smooth plunger for controlled feeding. One syringe has a narrow nozzle for slow feeding and the other a wide nozzle for faster feeding
- Easy-To-Use: Fill the syringe with Beaphar Lactol or Small Animal Milk, squeeze a bead of liquid onto the tip and place against the animal’s tongue to trigger swallowing, squeeze gently
Always fully read the product packaging before use.
Directions For Use:
- Ensure all equipment is clean and sterile before use, preferably by soaking in a sterilising solution
- Mix the milk powder as directed and allow to cool until lukewarm (38°C or blood temperature)
- Fill the wider tipped syringe with the prepared milk replacer and gently press the plunger to ensure the liquid is flowing
- It is a good idea to support the animal in a towel. This helps restrain limbs if necessary and absorb any spillages
- Gently depress the plunger to squeeze a bead of liquid onto the tip of the syringe and touch on the animal's tongue. This should feel like a nipple and trigger swallowing, in which case continue until the animal seems content. DO NOT SQUEEZE HARD in case you force liquid into the lungs
If this method does not work, then fill the narrow tapered syringe. Gently insert into the animal’s mouth, and release a few drops into the cheek, and allow the animal to swallow.
