Patti - look on Tipper's page # 170, post # 1699. The original post on the Hawthorn dose is on page # 166, post # 1653. ;)
I don't know enough about the Rhodiola to offer doses, nor do any of my books talk about it or dosing for it.
EDITED TO ADD: I'll make sure you have seen this, Patti, then post an update on Squirt from the vet today.
Leslie:
I must be going wacky, I don't know how I missed that!. The Hawthorne just came and it is 1:4 so how does that change things? I noticed the one you posted is for 1:2 or 1:3. Not sure now, please advise. I am going to have to get something to measure ml, possibly a syringe. Blessings
Patti
Is this an alcohol tincture or glycerite tincture?
1ml = 1/4 tsp = 1 dropperful = 1 squeeze of the bulb (glass/plastic tube will not be full)
Glycerite thank you Leslie
Ok...the glycerite is not going to be as potent as the alcohol tincture. That ratio - 1:4 - means there is 1 part herb to 4 parts solvent (glycerine), so it is weaker than the alcohol tincture recommended at 1:3 - 1:4 means more solvent (glycerine) to the herb content than in the alcohol tincture. So using the same dosing I posted for the alcohol will work just fine with the glycerite to start - that will be a lower dose of Hawthorn than the same amount of the alcohol tincture.
Hope this helps! Gotta go to the grocery store and I'll check in when I get back!
Hi Leslie,
I know "twitching" really well. In fact, I have it mastered!:eek::D:eek: I am glad to hear that your little queen has turned off her brown drips. Dang leaky faucets!!!;) Your report sounds good overall, yay! :) Please let us know what the vet thinks. Thanks, xxxxxxx

~~whew~~ it's HOT out there for Oct! ugh...
Well, there was a mix up with the appt today - they have a new girl on staff and she only wrote down 2 nail trims so we didn't even have an appt with the vet - only the techs. They trimmed both pup's nails and shaved Squirt's teetee for me to help keep it dryer and less yeast hopefully will grow. I did tell them that the urine after the brown drops was a nice yellow, no odor at all, and then the leaking urine was almost clear. They said that made them feel better, to watch her and if I see the drops again or get more worried to bring her back; I can also catch some urine and take in for an analysis. Unless she gets sick or I see that brown again, I'm gonna wait for Doc to come back from vacation. It seems like when Dr. Stacy is there filling in, they typically overbook. All the exam rooms were full today, they had several come in without appts who were seen, while folks with scheduled appt's were waiting a long time passed their time. I could have waited to be worked in but neither Brick nor Squirt do well with being at the vet and no telling how long we would have had to wait...so I came home and will go back when Doc is in. They just don't understand how much it costs me to drive out there but I was nice about the mix up on her appt....this time. Next time, not so much and I will make her listen to me if she answers again.
:p:p:p I just saw Squirt acting like she was about to squat and poop in the bedroom floor. I jumped up and took her outside where she promptly started squatting in the grass, rubbing her nekkid teetee on the ground! We came back in after she peed and she sprawled out on the kitchen floor, dragging her teetee on the cool linoleum, her back legs trailing behind! :p:p:p
Leslie:
To what do you attribute the dragging on the linoleum ? The shaving? Squirt just keeps you guessing all the time. That is too bad about going all the way to the vets, and no appointment. Squirt seems to change things up a bit to keep you on your toes! Hope she does not have any more brown spotting. That must be a riot taking all of them to the vets together. Blessings
Patti
Sounds like Squirt had an itch that needed scratched! :)
