Syringe Feeding

[JayneG]

Hi everyone. Can someone remind me where to find tips on syringe feeding on here? I'm sure i remember something somewhere.

I'm having trouble feeding my boy as he is just spitting it out!

oh i know this can be difficult i had to syringe some medicine to my piggie recently which he hated although he quite liked the critical care and licked it of the syringe rolleyes
try to cuddle them in something like a cosy sack so they can't back away from the syringe and snuggle them to keep them feeling safe, often having someone on hand to hold them was good as it meant you could focus more and just trying to get in the mouth without a wiggly piggy to deal with !
however the link mentioned above is really useful to, this is just my experience with medicines ! (:
