No more of vet's torture-needles
Terumo needles are civilized, even though our cat "Asi" isn't :)). She does growl a lot less with Terumo, size 20, then she did with the monojet, sz. 18. It's not just the size issue (in fact I may go back to the larger 18 since Asi is Type A--always having other things to do), but Terumo's simply slide in faster and with much less pain. For a nearly 19 year old cat who's always been a bit negative (continues to growl, spit and carry on when brushed out, after all these years) --we appreciate Terumo. They turn down Asi's volume and intensity. I've only done 8 sub-q's so far, who knows with more practice (for us both) perhaps she'll start purring.

NOT the same as Terumo's ULTRA thin wall needles!
Recently purchased the Terumo 21G x 1" needles to use when giving my senior cat with chronic renal disease her subQ fluids. For 25+ years, I've religiously used Terumo's ULTRA thin wall needles because they glide easily and smoothly through the skin upon insertion. They are the sharpest needle out there! But when I went to use the first one out of the new box, I knew something was very different! The needle was not nearly as easy to insert into her skin. And upon insertion, I could actually feel the skin tear! I was horrified that I put my petite Himalayan through that. It was then that I realized that the new needles were regular "Thin Wall" needles, rather than ULTRA thin wall as shown on the box in the listing photo. I feel the photo is misleading and should be replaced with what is actually being shipped. I simply do not believe the two types of needles are the same—either that or I got a bad batch of needles! Either way, I wasted my money as I refuse to use them. Don't want to put my cat through that again. I've got a stock of 20G UTW on the shelf, so we will just have to use those.

Much better than the needles from the vet.
From IllinoisComments about Terumo NeedlesThin walled needles are much thinner than the needles from the vet, are less painful for your pets and yet deliver the fluids at a high rate of volume. -
Very sharp needles won't hurt your cat
From UndisclosedComments about Terumo Needles 19 gauge, 1 inch, Thin WallTerumo needles are the best, they go in like butter. 19 gauge works well for giving fluids to my cat. Vet RX Direct also has very fast shipping and are very responsive.-

LULU like the 21 gauge Terumo needles
From UndisclosedComments about Terumo Needles 21 gauge, 1 inch, Thin WallLulu has to be hydrated twice a day. We like the smaller needles because thy are easier on her skin. We could not find this gauge Terumo needle anywhere except VetRX direct. Another product we purchased that, qualified for the free shipping dollar amount, was unavailable in the morning, back in stock in the afternoon, same day as the Terumo needle purchase. Sam was kind enough to extend free shipping for the needles.-

Perfect needles for fluids
From Huntsville, ALComments about Terumo NeedlesThese needles were recommended through a group forum for kidney kitties needing subq fluids. They are so much better than the standard needles prescribed by our vet! It might take an extra minute to give fluids since these are a smaller gauge but our 16 year old cat doesn't react at all to the initial pinch like he did the needles from the vet. These are the only kind I'll use.

Do you offer the Terumo 20g thin wall needles in 1" length? I need this size for administering subcutaneous fluids and find 1.5" is too long.?
-
Currently, Terumo does not manufacture the 20g veterinary needles in 1 inch length. If you feel that you need a shorter length needle, you may discuss this with your veterinarian to determine if another size needle will work for you and your pet.
Verified Answer -
This is the length I need as well as 1/5" is too long. The cat gets subcutaneous fluids every day so there is a lot of scar tissue

So to be sure the thin wall NN2525R terumo needles will screw into a Luer lock syringe? Similar to the way a Luer lock needle is? Or are they for slip tip only? This is what has been throwing me off.?
-
Terumo needles have a slip tip end, and they can be used with both luer lock and slip tip syringes.

Hello, First, I would like to confirm that you have the Terumo 19 gauge 1" thin wall and 21 gauge 1" ultra thin wall needles in stock. Do I first place the order on your site and then have my vet fax the prescription to you or do you require the prescription first? What is your fax number that my vet can use to send the prescription? I live in New York. Is there any prohibition against you shipping the needles once the prescription has been verified? Thanks in advance for your reply. Sincerely, Lonnie M.?

Will you be carrying the 20G x 1" needles? That is a good one for subcu fluids. A 1-1/2 " needle is a bit long for subcutaneous fluids, and the 20G is really a desirable gauge to use. Thanks, Cynthia?

what size is the barrel of the 19G thin wall needle?
-
The higher the gauge, the smaller the needle barrel. The lower gauge needles are commonly used for more viscous (thicker) liquid medications. The needle dimensions are 1.10mm X 25mm. Please let us or your veterinarian know if you have any further questions or concerns.
