Sounds like you're ready for anything. I believe the first three all do the same thing, I used Karo syrup for hypoglycemia. Benedryl is for an alergice reaction to anything Pedialite is for dehydration if they vomit or have dirreha Hydrogen peroxide is to wash injuries, also to give them to make them vomit if they eat something that they are not suppose to eat. Neosporine is for cuts or scratches cottage cheese is good to get them to eat, if they don't want to eat. pumpkin is for constipation Corn syhrup is for hypoglycemia. Good luck | |

| Here's a link that give you the dosage on benadryl and hydrogen peroxide. The only thing I want to add on to Jeanie's post is that hydrogen peroxide (even diluted) is no longer used to treat cuts because it eats flesh. Up until a couple of years ago I used it too until my vet chewed me out saying I should know better than that. http://groups.msn.com/chinutchihuahu...rstaidkit.msnw From the web: Here's some info. on hydrogen peroxide. What you should NOT use is alcohol or Hydrogen Peroxide. You can use either of them (diluted at 50%) for an occasional cleaning but both of these products are too harsh for daily use in healing wounds. Hydrogen Peroxide was once used for these types of wounds for it's debriding ability, however, since about 1996 the course has changed and wound care specialists have come to realize that too much tissue damage occurs to healthy cells that are needed for wound healing when Hydrogen Peroxide is used. HP is considered "cytotoxic", meaning deadly to cells, thus it actually inhibits wound healing. Unfortunately, many doctors and nurses and are not informed that HP is no longer recommended for wound healing and they give their patients instructions that actually SLOW DOWN the healing process. |

| Thank you very much Lucy's Mom I thought strange to put hedrogen peroxite on cuts... Now, another confusing thing for me is corn and garlic powder. I read here that corn is not good and the food my vet sold to me has corn in it. I stopped using it and bought Canidae. So, if corn is not good how come corn syrup is O.K.? Is garlic powder acceptable? I know that onion powder is bad. Aren't they from the same family? Please, put me out of my misery and clear up these issues. Thank you in advance

| Don't know if corn syrup actually comes from corn or not, but the amount is so small it wouldn't matter if it did. The reason dog food makers use corn is it is a cheap source of protein and very hard for dogs to digest because they do not have the enzymes necessary to break it down, after all they are carnivores, not vegetarians. You're right garlic and onion have the same toxin, but onion has more. Many reputable dog foods contain garlic. A dog would have to eat a considerable amount to have a toxic reaction. About the toxicity of onions and garlic: Onions cause hemolytic anemia, which means that the red blood cells break down leaving the dog short of oxygen. Onion poisoning can occur with a single ingestion of large quantities or with repeated meals containing small amounts of onion. The condition generally improves once the dog is prevented from eating any further onion. The poisoning may occur a few days after the dog has eaten the onion. At first dogs affected by onion poisoning show gastroenteritis with vomiting and diarrhea, weakness and show little or no interest in food. The red pigment from the burst blood cells appears in an affected dog's urine making it dark colored. The dog will experience shortness of breath because the red blood cells that carry oxygen through the body are reduced in number. Other symptoms are elevated body temperature, confusion, and increased heart rate. Seek veterinary care immediately. The quantity of onions, raw or cooked, required is high enough that dogs can generally tolerate small doses of onions without any problem and moderate amounts of onion without apparent signs of onion poisoning. All forms of onion can be a problem including dehydrated onions, raw onions, cooked onions and table scraps containing cooked onions and/or garlic. Left over pizza, Chinese dishes and commercial baby food containing onion, sometimes fed as a supplement to young pets, can cause illness. While garlic also contains the toxic ingredient thiosulphate, it seems that garlic is less toxic and large amounts would need to be eaten to cause illness. |

| Maybe you have hydrogen peroxide on there because when yorkies eat something they aren't supposed to, i.e. grapes, pesticides, ect., you can give them hydrogen peroxide in a syringe to make them throw up. |
