"Equine Drenching Syringe"

Found eBay listing for "Equine Drenching Syringe Dental Horse Flusher 500ml" from the UK (they say free shipping)

Has anyone tried one of these out for "useful purposes"?

Yes, I got one a few years ago. It was 400ml and came with a tip made of brass. Had the same bend in it as the one on Ebay.

The tip threaded in, so I made a nice fat 3" long bat-style nozzle out of delrin plastic. Problem was that I needed the long arms of a gorilla to operate it. I've been hoping to find a partner to use it on me (or her), but yet to no avail.

The 500ml one you mention on Ebay looks kind of rude ......... if you ask me. The tip looks a bit sharp ......... with or without the extension. And if you use the extension, I feel there is risk of bowel perforation. There's another one there that is 400ml and looks pretty much identical to mine ....... except they're using aluminum instead of brass. Its tip is smooth and round, and less likely to cause damage. But you'll still need to be careful.

FYI, I bought the 500ml syringe and it has a lot of merit. Throw away the extension tube. The "nipple" that the extension tube pushes into is firm but flexible silicone, nicely rounded edges, and makes a very comfortable insertion directly. If you want to attach a nozzle or whatever, 8mm male hose fittings will adapt anything you want. It comes apart easily for cleaning. There are some drawbacks to filling and there is a lot of "stiction" in the plunger seal. Probably better to use on a partner but I find I can operate solo. I would give it 5 stars.

That's quite clever. I'm sure the thermometer fetish people have discovered the joys of an equine thermometer as well. "Hung like a horse" says it all. LOL

I have used a small 50 ml equine drenching syringe but it had a large 8" bent nozzle I use it to inject oil up my bum.
