Oral Dosing Technique for Mice Using Flexible Feeding Tubes

Watch this video to learn how to orally dose a mouse using flexible feeding tubes. After scruffing the mouse, the feeding tube should be inserted to the right or the left of the midline. Doing so reduces the chance the mouse can bite the tube. Little to no resistance should be felt — if you do feel some resistance, you may have accidentally entered the trachea. If you notice fluid bubbling from the nose, stop administration immediately. This is an indicator of aspiration. Move swiftly but carefully, and be sure to empty the entire syringe before removing it. Be sure to monitor the mouse after dosing to make sure breathing remains within normal limits.
