    Default NutriFeron -- anyone know dosage?

    So I am dealing with an early mild case of squirrel pox in my little Charlotte.
    Got her 2 weeks ago, pox showed up 4 days later. FInder said her mother rejected her, twice, and I looked at this precious, perfect baby girl and thought "why? Why on earth would she do that." Mamma is obviously better at noticing pox than I am.

    She has been quarantined from the other babies. I am cleansing lesions (there are about 10) with Betadine and then coating her with Gold Bond Medicated Powder until she looks like a little chicken cutlet . Lesions are not appearing new anymore -- most are dried up -- but I just got the NutriFeron and want to add that to boost her immune system.

    Does anyone know how to dose the Shaklee tablets? It says 2 per day for an adult HUMAN.....what is that in squirrel?
