Squirrel with mange is struggling

[Geri]

Thank you for your responses! This prompted me to get off my butt and order up the NutriFeron.

I looked at the posts on dosing NutriFeron. I'm not able to reliably get her to drink water I put out, so I'll have to come up with another way to dose her. Any suggestions for dosing her with NutriFeron on a nut? I could dip in peanut butter and then in the NutriFeron, but how much NutriFeron on the nut should I shoot for?

Thank you!!!

I mixed one NutriFeron tablet with 40mls warm water, then smooshed like crazy -- those tablets don't dissolve easily. After that I would dose my pox kids twice a day with 0.04 of the NutriFeron liquid. You could put that on a half walnut or piece of avocade. I also used grapes: scoop out a hole in the top with a sharp fork or knife and 'inject' the grape with the med. I had a cocktail every day made up for each of them -- three got Nutiferon and Acyclovir twice a day, the third got Nutriferon, Acyclovir AND SMZ-TMP because he had pox in his eye (horrific).

Thank you for the dosing instructions. The NutriFeron I ordered is "caplets", so I don't know if that's the same as the tablets you use. 40 ml appears to be just a little less than 3 tablespoons of water. But I don't have a concept of how I would dose out .04 of that. How critical is the dosing? I don't want the cure to be worse than the disease :-)
