Much more comfortable for my cat
My 19-year old cat has kidney disease, and we've been giving him sub-q fluids every other day for almost 2 years. It was getting harder and harder with 18 gauge needles and causing him pain and stress each time. After just two weeks, the Terumo needles seem like a big improvement. He still doesn't like receiving the fluids, but he seems much more comfortable. Only con is that it takes a bit longer.
My 16 year old girl was diagnosed in renal failure last year and so began our daily afternoon time for Sub-Q fluids. She hated being stuck everyday as much as I hated sticking her! My little old girl turned from a sweet, calm dear into a flailing, biting mess when I tried inserting needles from the vet. Some friends informed me about the Terumo needles, so I took their advice and placed an order. I had my box of needles 4 days after I placed the order and I appreciate that each sterile needle is individually wrapped. The insertion of the Terumo needle was quick and smooth. No longer did I own a dog that went crazy from pain everyday for about 10 minutes!! Even if I make a 'mis-stick', with the reasonable cost of the needles, I don't worry about having to use a second needle. The drip is quick and our Sub-Q sessions are nearly pain free. I have placed two orders for the 20 gauge Terumo needles and will continue to order these as long as I have my sweet companion.
I saw these needles on a couple of blog sites created for people that have cats requiring fluids. The needles I have been using looked like harpoons to me. Using these makes this process a lot easier on my cat. Good quality product and a great price.
100 needles, very reasonable. These smaller needles were more comfortable for my cat when I put them in her neck. and the drip is still very fast, because I hang the saline bag from the ceiling fan, and sit on the floor --- gravity takes care of the rest.
If you make a mistake and have to re insert the needle, it is somehow already dull. You need to get another one. But don't mind as the price is right.
Much better than the 18 gauge needles for my cat
My cat recently started subcutaneous fluids, and the 18 gauge needles were difficult for both her and me. I came across online suggestions to go with the Terumo 20 gauge needles, and am very very happy with the results. Ordering was easy, and they arrived very promptly; I will do business with VetDepot again.
We love the needles and so does my cat. They are a little slower dispensing the fluid but it is worth it not to hurt him in the process. The service was great and I will use VetDepot again
Needles 20 gauge x 1 in, Terumo, 100
Much better reaction from my cat when inserted for sub q fluids. Fluid flow is a bit slower than the needles you get from the vet. I'm hoping to prevent scar tissue from forming with these easier to insert needles.
Great product - Great Shipping
I found this website through Google and had never ordered from them before. I needed the needles for my cat with CRF, and was hoping to get them quickly. I found just what I needed - with good product information on the website I might add, and the price was reasonable, as was shipping and they arrived quickly and in great condition. I will continue to use VetDepot.com in the future!
Needles 20 gauge x 1 in, Terumo, 100
I purchased these Terumo needles in order to make the daily subcutaneous fluids less painful for my cat, Cirian, who has very recently crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I had read online comments of other owners of cats with CRF/liver disease, that the thinner walls of this needle were much preferred for SQ fluids. I am grateful that these comments introduced me to these needles and that he didn't even notice the insertion of the needle after I switched to the Terumo. Please purchase these so that you can make SQ fluid therapy totally pain free for your dear little friend.
Vet Depot service and product quality
I have a kitty with ESRD who needs subcutaneous fluids. Having read all that I could from others on the topic and also based on discussion with my vet, I purchased Terumo needles from VetDepot. The product is great and the service excellent. I would not hesitate to use VetDepot again. The price was better than my vet can provide and I know they will be there when I need them again. I am a nurse with 30+ years of experience and I am very cautious of anything I purchase related to healthcare needs. My sweet kitty deserves the best!
Needles 20 gauge x 1 in, Terumo, 100
These are as stated. They worked fine to administer my dog's medicine (he is a medium/large dog, about 80 pounds).
These needles seem to work best for my cat. I've tried others such as an 18 gauge (in other brands) and these seemed to cause my cat great discomfort. And, since the process of giving fluids is stressful enough, I just wanted to make it as comfortable as possible for my cat. I highly recommend the Terumo, 20 gauge!
Made giving my cat his fluids so much easier. The previous needles were like a harpoon. These slide in gently and my cat isn't fighting with me during the treat.
