Beaphar Lactol Feeding Syringes for Kittens, Puppies and Small Animals - 2x12ml

Easy-to-use milk applicators suitable for nursing any weak or very young animals, including kittens, puppies, baby rabbits, baby guinea pigs, baby chipmunks etc. It is suitable for drip-feeding (feeding drop by drop) if they will not suckle.

Key Benefits:

  • Ideal for hand-rearing kittens, puppies and small animals
  • Suitable to be used with any animal milk replacer
  • Specially designed for young animals

Contains two 12ml syringes, one with a blunt tip and one with a tapered tip. Some animals will take better to one style of syringe than the other.

For best results: Wrap the animal in a towel, this gives them extra support and helps absorb any spillages.

ALWAYS FULLY READ THE PRODUCT PACKAGING BEFORE USE.

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. For animal use only.     

Instructions:

  • 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 blunt tip syringe with the prepared milk replacer and gently press the plunger to ensure the liquid is flowing. (If using Beaphar Lactol, refer to the feeding guidelines on the tub)
  • 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 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 tapered tip syringe. Gently insert into the animal's mouth, release a few drops into the cheek, and allow the animal to swallow.
  • Be prepared to repeat this every 2-3 hours until the animal is strong enough to feed from a bottle.
