Basik Silicone O Ring Syringes 60cc Catheter Tip Reusable Budget 2 Pack Soft Pack Easy Plunger Glide Every Time The Enteral Feeding Friend

Recommended. I used to use the other type of 60ml syringe with the black tipped plunger and it easily came apart and was difficult to plunge. This one is easier to use, slides easier, and the o-ring looks like it will stay in place.

My cat needs to be syringe fed a liquid diet. I was originally using the typical disposable rubber seal syringes that are cheap and commonly available. Those work fine on the first couple of uses, but the rubber inevitably starts to swell after a few uses and become unusable as the plunger becomes very difficult to push through the syringe, increasing the risk, as I found out the hard way, of getting stuck and then suddenly unsticking as you apply more pressure to get it moving, splatting food all over your cats face, which will make her a very unhappy kitty. "Why don't they just make these darn things out of silicone?" I thought, as I wiped my cat's face clean. I went on to Amazon to see if such a thing existed, and I found this syringe. It's a bit more expensive than your typical disposable rubber seal syringes, but it quickly pays for itself with sustainable reusability. I have used it dozens of times now and the plunger still glides through the syringe like butter. My cat likes to suckle on the tip of the syringe like a nursing kitten and the smooth glide of the syringe allows me to precisely control the flow of food so there are never any more face splattering incidents. [Update: Been through well over 100 uses now and still glides very smoothly with no sign of deterioration. If you want it to last and have a steady hand, use an engraver to etch over the gradation markings to make them permanent, because the Syringe will outlast the ink they use to print the markings.]

Best feeding syringe I’ve found. Seal stays as is through hundreds of feedings. Use on elderly pets who no longer can eat on their own.

I love the thin o-ring making it much easier to "push". great syringe. problem is the markings wear off very fast and then it's pretty much useless.

These are great. We ended up order 2 two packs. We have to medicate out kitty through a feeding tube and these syringes are so much smoother than the rubber plunger syringes that we were using. They don't get hung up and slide effortlessly. Worth the extra $ for the ease of use. Do yourself a favor and by these instead. You won't regret it!
