by Marcie Fallek, DVM, CVA

(Give remedy at least 15 minutes away from food and water)

POWDER IN PACKET

A) Pour directly inside pet's lower lip,
     or
B) Pour the powder into a glass with 1 TBS of spring or distilled water and

• Stir, let sit for about 15 minutes and stir again

• Suck up into syringe: (1 ml for cats and small dogs; 1-1/2 ml for medium dogs; 2 ml for large dogs)

• Squirt it in the side of your pet's mouth

LARGE PELLETS

1) Pour 3 pellets into a clean white envelope

2) Hit them with a hammer to make a powder sterilely

3) Then follow directions as above (powder in packet)

Store any medicine not immediately used in a dark, dry place at room temperature away from sunlight and strong odors, especially camphor (in Vick's, Tiger Balm, White Flower, etc.).

Also, keep it away from medicine cabinets, mothballs, smoke, perfume, essential oils, and magnetic fields (near cell phones, hi-fi speakers, etc.).

Do not refrigerate and do not leave in a hot place, such as a closed car or window ledge.

If these precautions are not observed, it is possible the remedy may become inactivated. 

DIRECTIONS FOR PREPARING GLASS AND SPOON FOR USE

After each treatment, the glass, spoon, and plastic syringe need to be neutralized by getting them quite hot for a few minutes. Pour boiling water from a kettle into the glass containing the spoon and separated syringe and let the water cool to room temperature.

Later, empty the glass and turn it upside down to drain on a towel, along with the spoon and syringe. Now everything is ready for the next treatment.

Note that it is OK to handle the glass and syringe with your fingers. We are not trying to sterilize the equipment, rather to neutralize the last dose.

HOW TO MAKE SECOND AND THIRD DILUTIONS
