Beaphar Lactol Feeding Set

The Beaphar Lactol Feeding Set contains a feeding bottle, four teats and a cleaning brush. This bottle is designed for feeding newborn and growing animals (puppies, kittens, guinea pigs, rabbits, hedgehogs etc.) It can also be used for feeding sick or recuperating animals.

Puncture the top of the teat with a needle or cut a small piece off the top with scissors. Be careful: too large an opening in the teat can cause gagging. Do not allow young animals to chew on the teat. If an animal is chewing, rather than sucking, it has finished feeding and the bottle should be withdrawn. Clean the bottle and rubber teat thoroughly after each use. If dish-washing liquid is used, rinse thoroughly afterwards.

Warnings: Do not allow young animals to chew on the teat. Clean the bottle and rubber teat thoroughly after each use. Do not make too large an opening in the teat as this may allow too much milk to flow and cause gagging.

Beaphar Lactol is a complete milk replacement feed for orphaned Kittens. It can also be used for weaning kittens, pregnant or lactating cats, or on sick or convalescing animals. Lactol has been produced for over 100 years, and has saved the lives of countless young animals. It is made from easily digested whey products and closely resembles natural females milk. Ultra filtration concentrates the proteins, and a slow drying process during production preserves the protein molecules.

Size: 250g

Add Lactol to warm (not boiling) water and stir until completely dissolved. Allow to cool to blood temperature (38°C) and it is ready for use. Older pets may prefer to drink their Lactol cold. The use of clean sterile feeding equipment is highly recommended, especially for young animals. Prepared feed may be kept in a refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Reheat to blood temperature before feeding young animals. Always keep fresh drinking water available.

Beaphar Feeding Syringes are invaluable for anyone trying to rear very young or weak animals. The packet contains two 12ml syringes and is ideal for feeding Beaphar Lactol or Beaphar Kitty Milk.

1. Ensure all equipment is clean and sterile before use, preferably by soaking in a sterilising solution.

2. Mix Lactol milk powder as directed and allow to cool to body temperature.

3. Fill the blunt-ended syringe with Lactol and gently press the plunger to ensure the liquid is flowing.

4. It is a good idea to support the animal in a towel. This helps restrain limbs if necessary and absorb any spillages.

5. Squeeze a bead of liquid onto the tip of the syringe and touch on the animals tongue. This should feel like a nipple and trigger swallowing, in which case continue until the animal seems content.

6. Be prepared to repeat this every 2-3 hours until the animal is strong enough to feed from a bottle. Additional Information: If this method does not work, then fill the tapered tip syringe. Gently insert into the animals mouth, and release a few drops into the cheek, and allow to swallow.
