So true. I remember one time years ago I picked up my BC pills. I got home
to discover I had someone else's heart meds. I'll always wonder what the
reaction was on the other end.
Buddy has been given nitroglycerin cream to put in the ear. The vet had told
be a *little dab* over the phone. The label from the pharmacy said 1/2 inch.
The insert and the actual med is for a human, so I called my vet before
using the cream. Buddy's *little dab* is more like 1/8 inch.
The Prednisolone liquid I have here is 1mg/ml. Dose for my 2 1/2 lb ferret
is 0.5 cc 2X day. Going in for blood work next week, although he has not had
any more low sugar episodes.
