    I have no idea what this is?
    But it sure is cute.
    Yes you can still use the mixture as it was just made up.
    So for a 10 gram ? and doing the dilution the way we did
    using 1 cc of the first solution/dilution then adding to that an additional
    9 cc's of water, our dose would be 0.04 cc's twice daily.
    You have it made up that way, correct?

    Good thinking.
    So you have the full strength where we initially added 10 cc's correct?
    If so, then you take 1 (one) cc of the mixture out, and add 9 (nine) more cc's of water to that,
    and you get this amount ( 0.04 cc's) to dose twice daily.

    Ohhh! It's a rat I think! And a big baby too! My rat came in with eyes just opened and he weighed 6 grams. So if this baby's eyes still closed at 10 grams, I bet you have a bigger rat species there. They make wonderful pets, and are released very easy. So either way you go,, you can't lose. So lets hope the AB's make this baby better.

    DID SOMEBODY SAY 'RAT TRAIN'???
    " For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren; they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth."

    Unfortunately I don't think there will be a rat train. Not only is Darby a mouse, it's been made clear that they apparently don't tolerate others of their kind well. I doubt a rat would be all that welcome either.

    NO AMOXICILLIN FOR RATS!!!

    Found this in Jackie's newly posted AB thread...

    "Rats and mice:
    Fatal reactions: streptomycin, dihydrostreptomycin, procaine component of penicillins
    Safe (see dosage table below): trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, enrofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, chloramphenicol palmitate, and tetracycline"

    I do love rats though, they're great pets. Who am I kidding?!? If you sent it with a cage and food it's got a home. I might have to steal part of Sassy's thread name, the Wayward Home! LOL Y'all hit up kastillo, she already has one and they DO like company!!
