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.

Subcutaneous Fluids for felines
From UndisclosedComments about Terumo NeedlesThese needles are used to give subcutaneous fluids to my 17 year old cat who has age related kidney disease. They are very sharp and small and can easily puncture his skin almost painlessly so the fluids can be administered. The larger needles let the fluids flow more quickly so you get done faster, but my cat is good about having this done and enjoys the chin scratches and petting he gets while the fluids flow. They are just purrfect for us! -
Glad to find these!
From UndisclosedComments about Terumo NeedlesHard to fine these specific needles - they are great to use when giving fluids to a cat. -
I do repurchase this item as well as others.
From UndisclosedComments about Terumo NeedlesI use these thin walled needles for the administration of fluids to my cat who has kidney disease. I had some difficulty finding them and was happy to discover VetRXDirect carried them at a reasonable price. They are much better to use than the thicker ones I first used. They cause less trauma. -
Good for kidney disease cats
From UndisclosedComments about Terumo NeedlesThin needles make daily subcutaneous injections of lactated ringer's solution easier on my cat with kidney disease. They don't seem to hurt her as much on insertion. Wish there was a shorter version available. -
Thin needle, 3/4 length is best for our cat
From Memphis, TNComments about Terumo NeedlesWe use these to administer fluids to our CKD cat. The vet gave us 18 gauge needles, and while it made the fluids flow faster, she was uncomfortable and you could sometimes even hear the puncture of her skin when putting it in. We've been using these for almost a year now, and the difference in gauge is night and day to her. The needle is very sharp and glides right under her skin effortlessly. She does have to sit about a minute longer than normal to get her fill, but she displays only mild discomfort during and does not fight it. We were dreading having to give her fluids every other day, but she takes it so well now -- not sure if it's the needle or her demeanor, but the needles definitely help.-

I would buy this product again
From UndisclosedComments about Terumo NeedlesThese needles made our lives so much easier because our cat tolerates them much better. She still feels the poke but it appears to be less painful. SQ fluid travels faster and significantly shortens time of the procedure. Arina -
sharp sharp sharp
From UndisclosedComments about Terumo NeedlesI love these! my cat barely flinches when we do his fluids now! 10/10 would recommend! -
Excellent for subcutaneous fluids for cat
From UndisclosedComments about Terumo NeedlesMy cat has kidney disease and I use these to give her fluids. Perfect. -
Great product!
From UndisclosedComments about Terumo NeedlesGreat product! Super fine so easy insertion and very smooth fast flow. Highly recommend! -
Not a significant difference
From UndisclosedComments about Terumo NeedlesWell, the site calls these ultra-thin walled needles, but I could not really tell, and the wrapper made no mention. They are probably fine, but the difference was not as dramatic as I was hoping for.

I'm looking for a Monoject 250 20 x 3/4 A needle for subq fluids for my cat. I can't seem to find that gauge anywhere. Do you sell those? I got the above-named needle from my vet but cannot seem to find them online anywhere.?
-
Unfortunately we do not sell the Monoject brand of needles at this time. The closest size that we currently carry is manufactured by Terumo, 20 gauge, length 1.5 inches. You may consider speaking with your veterinarian to see which types of needles are the best option for your pet’s needs and the type of medication you are administering. Your veterinarian may be able to provide you with a supply, or recommend an alternative size that is more available for purchase.

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?

same question: 1" thin wall (or ultra thin wall) 20 Gauge needles, please.
