The other question that has come up is a source for the red rubbe rSherwood Sovereign Feeding tubes.
We get ours from our veterinary supplier (sometimes it's good to be the vet) and have seen them online
They are made by Sherwood and are Sovereign Catheters - we use the 5 FR (French is a size measurement) for the littlest puppies and move up to 8 or 12 FR for the bigger breeds.
