Instructions

ALWAYS FULLY READ THE PRODUCT PACKAGING BEFORE USE.

1. Ensure all equipment is clean and sterile before use, preferably by soaking in a sterilising solution.

2. Mix the milk powder as directed and allow to cool until lukewarm (38°C or blood temperature).

3. Fill the blunt tip syringe with the prepared milk replacer and gently press the plunger to ensure the liquid is flowing.

4. It is a good idea to support the animal in a towel. This helps restrain limbs if necessary and absorb any spillages.

5. 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 tapered tip syringe. Gently insert into the animal’s mouth, and 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.
