If we do make a suspension then we add a crushed whole tablet to Syrup BP. A colleague I used to work with was dead against giving fractions of a tablet less than a quarter as he said the active ingredient wasn&#39;t evenly distributed within a tablet. The Syrup was used rather than water as the powder remains in suspension and hopefully gave more accurate dosing. My colleague did a lot of exotic work so dosing was always a challenge.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/152862?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 12 Feb 2016 17:15:14 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:95b7ab1a-c1b0-4e0c-977c-a2ace2840972Martin Atkinson<p>Summit Pharmaceuticals do a 5mg Frusemide tablet.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/152860?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 12 Feb 2016 16:37:43 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:ebd361b2-f0cb-42cc-969b-84fae1b342e9Andrew Mellor<p>FANTASTIC YES THEY ARE 10MG AND DESIGNED TO QUARTER ( LIBEO BY CEVA) EXCELLENT ONE PROBLEM SOLVED</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/152859?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 12 Feb 2016 16:26:10 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:dcf9a446-a09e-487c-8ed8-e93f5adab793Evelyn Barbour-Hill<p><img src="/emoticons/v2/Very_happy_smiley.png" alt="Very happy" /><img src="/emoticons/v2/Very_happy_smiley.png" alt="Very happy" /></p> <p>Is there any other kind of Krispy Kreme doughnut than an unwanted one?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/152858?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 12 Feb 2016 15:59:13 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:17f3d29d-ed32-4105-90dd-9202b2e3182dArlo Guthrie<p>[quote user=&quot;Andrew Mellor&quot;]How sad am I today?![/quote]</p> <p>Don&#39;t worry, you are not alone, as far as boring posts / news goes ...</p> <p>Must have been a REALLY slow news day down at BBC SW yesterday:</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTL9tJRJTrk">www.youtube.com/watch</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/152857?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 12 Feb 2016 15:52:45 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:dea1ed9e-fa66-4396-8525-e82443185260peter chalkley<p>dose the new(ish) ceva furosemide 1/4 down to the dose you need? more expensive than the ones you&#39;ve named, but licenced etc.</p> <p>as mentioned frusol isn&#39;t cheap but dose give you accuracy down at low doses</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/152854?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 12 Feb 2016 14:54:05 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:5bdf8c63-5dc3-49c8-a70e-25492b680128Stephanie Wellings<p>For tablets that tend to &#39;powder&#39; when you try and split them, you can use the smallest pair of nail clippers to cut them - it is a LOT better than the pill cutter!&nbsp;</p> <p>Something else I have done in the past is crushed the tablets, divided the powder, and put them into gelatine capsules (at first the nurses did it, then we taught the owner because it was a cat on long term medication and just too labour intensive for us).&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/152852?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 12 Feb 2016 14:50:43 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:e92c00b1-fd05-49de-8b3e-d27bfdc07a15Alan Tevendale<p>Have you tried using Frusol in these small dogs?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
