If your vet won't give you bigger syringes for some reason, you can
always order some from a vet supply catalog. There are several good
ones on the Web, such as http://www.lambriarvet.com/. Another option
is to use a butterfly needle to stick the fuzzy, since you can leave
this in place while changing syringes (and it's easier to keep in place
if the critter jumps or moves). For technique info, see
