Cut the end off your syringe before you try to get the food stuff into it.
Make the science recovery into a thickish paste - it needs to be thin enough to get into the syringe though....good luck.

thanks :cry: should i do the whole lot of the packet at once or just abit?
 
Also in the past I have found putting normal science selective pellets in a blender to make a fine powder. Then add water to it again.
Then you can add things like dried dandelion too.
 
I am giving Recovery to Pie at the moment for her GI stasis.
For the whole packet mix it with 70mls of water. I do this then leave it in the fridge so I can go back to it whenever I need it ready made. :)
EDIT: Make sure you mix it up so it becomes a liquidy-paste. If you leave it in the fridge stir it up abit as it tends to settle and seperate slightly.
 
if shes not eating anything i would pop her along to the vet hun, its nearly 12 hours til normal surgery :(

i too am syringe feeding recovery after a trip to the vets tonight for peppers stasis.its the 2nd time hes had it in about 6 or 7 weeks.
 
If a vet has said she has stasis she will need small but frequent feeds. Has she seen a vet yet? She may need a quick injection of metaclop to get things moving, and in my experience faster action is best. I hope she gets better soon...it can be very stressful syringe feeding buns. One of my fosters recently had a two week spell of stasis where we syringe fed her every couple of hours every day! I was exhausted, but i was determined not to lose her.
 
ive not mixed a whole packet because i usually end up throwing it all away :oops:

i think my vets aim for 20ml every two hours, i personally havent mastered syringe feeds yet, but i am now prepared with my huge 20ml syringe.

hope shes better soon xxxx
 
yep i too am doing little but often,my bun loved it thou and after syringing 1 lot into his mouth he ate the rest off the spoon:lol:
 
i have just given her a tiny piece of brown toast and she ate that, thats all she will have

she was at vets this morning, but has now decided she doesn't want to eat
 
I'm concerned. Am I right that the vet found her teeth OK & no particular cause for her weight loss?
I'd really want her re - examined tonight, to exclude an obstruction (blockage) & on a full "stasis" regime of pain relief, motility agents etc.
