Puppy & Kitten Tube Feeding Kit - 5 French Red Rubber

So helpful with kittens. Had one wouldn't drink from bottle and was very small. This was lifesaver for kitten. I had tube fed before so knew how to feed had not replaced old tube yet. Good price and quality and size. Make sure you have been shown how to tube feed so you don't damage the baby.

This tube/syringe has been hugely beneficial to both of us - my foster kitten's health and life and my own mental sanity. I am fostering a 10 day old kitten that has consistently failed to gain weight and has only a weak suckling response. Syringe feeding him 4-5 mLs every 2 hours has become a slow, messy, dreadful task for both of us. However, this tube arrived the same day as ordered (wow, thank you!) and was miraculous in effectiveness; it saved us both so much unhealthy stress and anguish and at last, prevented the high potential for aspiration. I can now be confident of the exact amount of formula given, and that I am not overly stressing-out the kitty. Tube feeding is quick, clean and less taxing on the animal (and caretaker) vs bottle/syringe feeding with a poorly suckling neonatal kitten.

Exactly what I needed

Perfect size for kittens and a must have for neonates. Tube feeding saves little lives but does require a bit of skill. Must have for rescuers who fosters neonates I keep one in the car just in case

Try to marker the mls amount because the numbers dissapear after one wash and dry. I still recommended, this has really helped feeding my toy breed puppy that can’t suckle properly. Clean the tube immediately after use so milk doesn’t clog.

I have a very sick cat not tolerating anything by mouth, great product as a nasogastric tube wish it came with the lube for easier insertion but I had some ready for placement. I was able to insert it and give my cat medicine and feed. I’ve placed many before that’s why I am confident doing this at home. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be careful using this product on your own as you can insert this improperly into the airway and cause your cat to aspirate.

By the time I received these I didn't need them anymore so I haven't used them yet but they look like they're good quality and everything came like it was supposed to so I'm optimistic and will update this post if anything doesn't work right or is faulty. If you don't hear back from me then that means it all worked out fine:-) I'm giving five stars as I would most likely buy again

I am 100% certain the kitten that I found under my house would have died without this. She was a couple of days old when her mom moved all of her siblings and left her and an already dead sibling. She couldn't drink from a bottle because she was congested and not able to eat and breath at the same time. I watched a couple of Youtube videos showing how to use this. It was really simple. I only had to use this for about a week until her congestion cleared up. I used Steramine that I already had at home to clean it after every feeding. The kitten is almost 3 months now and very healthy.

The item itself looks good on a first view (did not have chance to use it yet). Giving it 3 stars because I've paid an extra for an express shipment and got it almost a week later than the promised date.
