You can also buy an already assembled feeding tube from your local veterinary office or pet store.
Once the syringe has drawn up all of the milk replacer, press down gently until a tiny drop comes out of the syringe. Doing this will ensure that the syringe is working properly.
Put a small amount of water in the tube to check if your puppy coughs or gags. If it’s fine, attach the food syringe to the tube. If your puppy coughs, take out the tube and start over since the food could go into the puppy’s lungs.
Hold the syringe perpendicular to the puppy for the most efficient feeding method.
