Need an online source to buy syringes for my habit

You can't get insulin syringes at Revival Animal Health.
I checked out the calvetsupply site. They have some better prices, but I think they are Terumo and B/D syringes mostly. They do run cheaper, but seem to degrade more quickly. For injections, you're only going to use them once anyway. I guess it depends on what you want. I prefer Monoject (and I give TONS of injections daily) and I so love the Baxas but I've never worked anywhere that used them frequently. I think they come with Metacam suspension.

I'm sure that T and I have the same 3/10 CC syringes. Mine say B-D on them. They also say USE U-100 INSULIN ONLY and USE ONCE AND DESTROY (hah). I usually get them for rat dosages. They gave me a bunch of them with needles and injectable baytril inside when Janie was sick, but I yank the needles off.

Nurgle, have you bought any 0.5 cc's? If you have and are willing to sell a few, please email me. Thanks.
Our vet gives us Monoject. They're okay for a while. The Baxas last five times (no exaggeration) as long as the Monojects, working smoothly. Baxa will sell direct, minimum order is 100 but they're not terribly expensive. Josephine, thank you for the Metacam note. I was trying to remember where I got my first one, I bet that was it.

I think they sell B-D and Monoject. Both should be fine. I prefer the Monoject. You want to get luer slip tips if you want to use them for handfeeding. Luer locks need the top ring trimmed if you want to use them for that without the extra ring up there. Pain to do that, if you ask me, but it could be done with a pair of White's nail trimmers.
You can also ask a local pharmacist if there are any diabetic supply stores around you. That's where I get mine. It's essentially a pharmacy dedicated to serving diabetics.
Red blur, stupid question but don't diabetic syringes come with needles in them? The ones I get for my dog (which are human ones that my diabetic aunty gets for free) come with the needle "built in" and I would have thought that they all do.
