A plastic syringe is great for hand feeding small animals. It holds more
food than a medicine dropper and is also easy to control the flow. Just a
thought for you. I've used them for hand feeding ferrets when they are sick
and won't eat on their own.

Good suggestion! My vet gave me several syringes (no needles) so I could
follow a pill with some water when my cat needed to be medicated.
