Please don't scare people about syringe feeding. At times, it has
to be done and my belief is that if you "think" something bad might
happen, it is more likely to happen. Sometimes, we just have to
grit our teeth and take the plunge.
**Sorry, but people need to be frightened enough of syringe feeding to be
sure to learn how to do it correctly. As a vet, I have seen several cases of
aspiration pneumonia caused by owners who did not know how to syringe feed or
medicate properly. This is a very important issue and should not be treated
lightly or casually.
That said, syringe feeding is a very effective tool and I encourage all
ferret owners to ask their vet to teach them how to do it safely.**
