Lixit Hand Feeding Syringe (35 cc)

For reference, I’m using it with a 4 pound Yorkie, and the tip is still quite big for her, but she licks the end and it works! She had a surgery for a rare issue on her C1 and C2 spinal columns (called atlantoaxial subluxation- AAS) which left her with bone screws and cement in her spine, and a neck brace once that didn’t work. We were afraid she was waiting herself out to die because she was so confused and in pain, but we wondered if it was just discomfort being able to eat, and it was!! We’re so relieved. This syringe is so big for her that a single pull is a full meal for her when slowly given. Genuinely saved her from starvation I’d say. 10/10 would recommend for dogs who may need help for whatever reason. Just fill with water a few times to clean, and it’s perfect.

This is best feed syringe I've found so far. Loads well, smooth dispense. Best to warm in hot water before giving food or meds. Expands tube, work more smoothly, and pets appreciate warned food. Easy to clean. Just hope it continues to perform, as wear and tear tends to make things stick. Have to use olive oil to get others to slide well.

This syringe was recommended to me by a Caturday group friend. I had been using the 4 paws 12cc syringe to feed Prescription a/d to my cat, Lucky, who is suffering from liver problems. That was the only size syringe I could find in my area. Unfortunately, to get enough food in him required multiple fillings of the syringe, which meant fill syringe, feed cat, refill syringe, retrieve cat from under waterbed, feed cat....etc. I can get enough for one feeding in this syringe easily. This syringe operates much more smoothly than the smaller 4 paws syringe. Made the feeding operation less stressful and messy for both of us.We'll see how durable it is. Lucky managed to chomp through the tip of the smaller syringe in seconds. That might also be because I didn't know what I was doing. No problems this time.Added: I used the syringe twice a day for about 2 weeks with no issues, it held up well. Unfortunately, Lucky's condition continued to worsen and there was nothing else to do for him.

Sometimes I have to syringe feed two of my cats because they have health issues that cause them to stop eating during a flare. I have to syringe feed at that time. I bought this because it was animal specific and it held at least 30ML of food which is what I try to get in at each feeding. It holds a good amount of food but it’s huge and hard to control with one hand. I can’t use two hands. I have to hold the cat and control the syringe. The opening that you put into the cats mouth is pretty big. Food just drips out of it and when getting any into the cats mouth it’s a lot and can be dangerous if they choke or aspirate.

Okey

Very surprised how high this thing is rated. This thing works well with liquids the consistency of water but the second you try to feed your fur ball anything remotely thick, you suddenly need to be a body builder. Twice now I've slammed my wrist trying to pull the thing apart to clean it.

My small dog has not been drinking too much water lately, but when I took this syringe and put water in it, he loves to drink water from it..I lay it on top of a bottle of water and it fits on top of it.Wanted to edit this a little bit since I've had this syringe now for a few weeks. It's becoming extremely hard to use. In the beginning it was really easy to push down and now every time I use it I have to work with it and push hard in order to get the water to come out of it. Just disappointed.

Super easy to clean, comes apart neatly, big nozzle doesn't clog. Worked great with 5 week old kittens.
