Subject: [ferrethealth] Requesting slippery elm bark dosage info
To: undisclosed-recipients:;
Over the last few months, several people from different lists suggested that
I try slippery elm bark for Indy's apparent nausea associated with his
insulinoma. Yet, in spite of several requests, no one -- unless I have
missed it -- has responded with an answer concerning dosage.
[Jeff gave some info on that regard in
http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/ferrethealth/message/11858
and there are always the easily used separate FHL archives
where you will readily find posts such as
http://ferrethealth.org/archive/YG13036
http://ferrethealth.org/archive/YPG1206
and there are 9 more messages that come up with a search for
messages that contain
elm and teaspoon
in the body of the messages.

I found one older post indicating that you mix 1/4 tsp powder with 0.15 ml
warm water, let sit 15 mins, shake, then give 0.2 ml to him. I tried this
but it didn't seem to help. I NEED TO KNOW IF I GAVE HIM THE CORRECT DOSE,
how often to give it to him, and if this should work immediately, or is it
cumulative? I've tried looking via google to no avail at this point. I
don't recall who all the homeopathic experts are on my various lists, or I'd
email them directly.
PLEASE help me with this. I'm well aware that the insulinoma is probably
causing the nausea. I'm also aware that he might have an ulcer or ulcers,
but he has no other symptoms. He's had this nausea problem for months, but
his carafate/pepcid combination 3x/day doesn't do it for him (0.30 ml
carafate & 0.50 ml pepcid).
[Is the Carafate being given on an empty stomach as it needs to be?
Is the Carafate being given at least an hour) separated from other
medications so that it does not coat them and prevent them from
working?

He eats fine -- both soup and kibble. His poops
are fine, aside from occasional diarrhea. Since adopting Siri last weekend,
he's been more active overall, more playful, and I just purchased some
carpet runners for him to use since he can't use his hind legs very well
anymore since his accident in May.
Thank you!
