Instructions

• Ensure that all equipment is clean and sterile before use, preferably by soaking in a sterilising solution.
• Mix the feed as required and allow to cool to body temperature (38ºC).
• Fill the blunt ended feeding syringe with the feeding solution and gently press the plunger to ensure the liquid is flowing.
• You can wrap the animal in a towel to restrain limbs whilst feeding, if necessary.
• Squeeze a little of the liquid feed out of the feeding syringe and touch it onto the animal's tongue. This should feel like a nipple and trigger the suckling reflex. Continue to feed the animal until it seems to have eaten enough.
• If this method doesn't seem to work, fill the tapered tip syringe with the feed. Gently insert this into the animals mouth and release a few drops into the cheek and allow the animal to swallow. Never squeeze too much feed out of the syringe at a time, as the feed could enter the lungs.
• Repeat this feeding method every two to three hours until the animal is strong enough to drink from a bottle.
