Gavage feeding with rigid needles is dangerous if not done properly but in emergency situations the benefits often out weigh the risks. High quality feeding needles with modified balled tip. Tips make needles safer when medicating or emergency force feeding. Recommended for crop evacuation in severe cases of crop shut down or stasis. Needles fit our Deluxe Plastic/Nylon Syringes, A-T with leur tips and G-S syringes with leur slip and leur lock tips* We use the 14 and 16 gauge needles for babies under 1 week old.
