Directions for use:
- you must obtain an airtight seal around the bitches nipple
- you may need to trim the hair from the area around the nipple to get a seal
- Pull the plunger to extract milk (try to mimic the suckling of a puppy)
- you must obtain a proper seal with no air leaks for this to work properly
- using a warm compress on the teat will help the milk to come down
- works best when female is in a standing or laying down position as it allows the milk to pool in the syringe and be collected
- Remove the breast pump from the bitch in a manner that keeps milk within the syringe.
- Extracted milk may immediately be used with our syringe nursers, feeding tubes, feeding sponge or our range of bottles.
