Yes the monetary cost might go down if I sprayed the chicken pieces but the cost to my sanity would definitely worsen. Given that our batches are 80-100 lbs, the spraying process would add a lot of labor and time to an already distasteful chore.  But I may well be able to reduce the volume of...

After using CS on ourselves and our cats for over 14 years -  plus having a research PhD -  I made an educated guess about what would work on raw chicken.  Initially I went through 3 different CS-generators over a period of 4 years or so before deciding that the 500 ppm was the only feasible...

I buy 16 oz bottles of a brand called Natural Path Silver Wings, 500 ppm colloidal silver for around $83 from LuckyVitamin.com. Twelve drops of this in an ounce of water yields a 10 ppm solution.  By far the most cost effective I've found. I've been aiming for a 40-50 ppm solution in a large...

I could of course but was thinking someone here might have already, and if so I could avoid pestering her again. CS is our go-to for general antiseptic/antibacterial use in wounds, abscesses, oral care as well as for clean-up after handling raw meat. I was just wondering if the subject of...

My partner and I feed the 10 rescued cats we care for a home made raw chicken diet and have for 10 plus years, using the Pierson recipe. Just recently I looked in at her site and found that Pierson has started lightly cooking the chicken to 'kill surface bacteria'.  Some time ago we began...

My 13 year old cat has just been diagnosed with lymphoma/feluk that may have spread into the organs. I'm trying hard to find palliative care that will get us through this. So far (for 2 weeks) its been transdermal bupe/plo (the synthetic opiod) which seems to work really well for pain...

All manufacturers of flea treatments issue warnings about using them on both too-young and too-old cats. The too-young ages are spelled out but I've never seen too-old defined. I'd like to hear what folks here say  - at what age should we be having blood work done on our cats to determine if...

I think one should assume its a bad reaction until you can assure yourself that its not. Maybe try putting the same amount of water on your cat's neck and see if the reaction to any liquid is the same. These are potent neurotoxins with product warnings against people getting it on themselves. ...

and yet another apology - the large dog pills are 0.5 grams.  Good effing grief.  Am about to retire for the evening with a tumeric smoothie.

The large dog size pills I have weight 50 GRAMS, not mgs as I'd originally thought. Sorry for the confusion.

Hello Willowy and 4cats--Willowy you were right, I was misreading my new scale thinking it was mg when it was grams. 4cats - there's no mention of weight versus volume on the box or the insert. This is from the FDA's site: CAPSTAR Tablets should be administered orally, at a minimum dosage rate...

An observation about Capstar.  I just bought a gram scale in order to get accurate weights when dividing doses of Capstar tablets. To my surprise I found that the tablets that are claimed to have 57mg of the active ingredient Nitenpyram in fact only weigh 50 mg at the most - some a bit less. ...

Thanks for the responses - as I continue to read I see that many are finding that neither FrontlinePlus or Advantage2 work anymore due to resistance and that many are switching to Revolution. I'm loathe to expose a cat to any of these things since even though fleas may adapt (how do they do...

Hello - I'm new here. We have 9 rescued cats who live indoor/outdoor in a fenced backyard. I'm about to buy large dog FrontlinePlus to split into 0.5ml doses (I've done this before). My question is about the shelf life of the properly handled and stored product (minimizing exposure to air etc)...
