Clare, there's no reason why you can't give the info publicly on the forum - I'm sure others might find it useful (assuming you're talking about something like Life Aid and not some illegal substance of course )
Yes it is Life aid - not illegal at all
I wouldn't want to try it myself - have you seen the colour?
? - went private because i gave my phone number incase Mrs BoJ had any questions - i don't usually come on the forum at night! and didn't fancy handing my number out to the world! (members of COL can have it)
So here is the info............Life Aid is used for the treatment of Pig Scour normally but you can use it for puppys to keep them hydrated if you are having problems keeping food in them. (NB Ask your vet first!!!!)
To tell if your puppy is dehydraded pinch the skin gently - it should spring back - if it doesn't then they need more liquid.
We have used life aid on a pup which was just a day old - and i have been told that a puppy can be sustained on the formular for as lond as a week. Although they wont put on any weight.
The amasing thing is that alot of vets have not heard of it being used on puppys so don't suggest it! We have a bottle in stock when we have a litter! (a shop 100 yards from my house gives me a free bottle and we can give it back if we don't need it!).
I won't take credit for discovering this product - i was told about it by an amasing lady called Heather Ridley who kindly talked me through trying to save a puppy at 11pm one night!!! Bless her! (do you know her, Jane? - you must do
)
I've got some in stock at the mo so if anyone local needs some (any time night or day) buzz me. Got to do our best for the babies!
