I think bed bath and beyond sells it or sur la table if you have one, it was about 12 dollars for 8 ounces it will say food grade on the bottle. i put it into a dropper bottle for him, i would call your vet tom and let them know that the opptimune burns, maybe h she can write you a script for tacrolimus you will need to go to a compounding pharmacy for it but it did wonders for cooper. Maybe try the soothe xp.
Thanks so much I did not think this was the right mineral oil, I wonder if a health food store carrys this. I did look for soothe xp did not see it I will try Walgreens.
