I have used syringes without needles for years, first to feed baby birds when I was handfeeding hatchlings, and then to treat my dog's ears to avoid wax and dirt buildup. I never once in all those years thought of using them to measure liquids. The idea is brilliant. Now to find some appropriate small jars to work from. Thanks also for the idea to mark the plunger for different amounts of liquid. I would not have thought of doing that either. Before anybody comments about my putting stuff in my dog's ears to clean them, it was my veterinarian who wanted me to do it, but I came up with the idea of how.

Then I transfer liquids from small narrow bottles like vanilla into a little jar, maybe the size of a baby food jar or smaller, it was a sample jam or mustard or something in a gift package, and that is wide enough for dipping the syringe.
