This sounds like an obvious question as I'm asking it..but...are single use syringes really only ok to use once for injections, or can they be sterilised and used again for the same animal?

Same as Jane, I'd only use them once. Can't even begin to guess how you would resterilse them.

definitely only once for injections
If you are using them for oral meds i use them more than once

I've tried sterilizing them for handrearing babies but the volume markers on the side just come off in a black gooey mess, so I wouldn't bother. You can get a box of 100 on the internet for about a tenner anyway.
