Beaphar Lactol Feeding Syringes

Size: 2 x 12ml

Ensure all equipment is clean and sterile before use, preferably by soaking in a sterilising solution.
Mix Lactol milk powder as directed and allow to cool to body temperature.
Fill the blunt ended syringe with Lactol 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.
Squeeze a bead of liquid onto the tip of the syringe and touch on the animals tongue. This should feel like a nipple and trigger swallowing, in which case continue until the animal seems content.
Be prepared to repeat this every 2 3 hours until the animal is strong enough to feed from a bottle. Additional Information: If this method does not work, then fill the tapered tip syringe. Gently insert into the animals mouth, and release a few drops into the cheek, and allow to swallow.
