HomeoPet First Aid

Safe, Gentle, 100% Natural

First Aid remedy is indicated for bite wounds, cuts, bruising, sprains, teething, fever and bone fractures. First Aid also assists in reducing bleeding and may be used post surgery to improve healing time.

DOSING:
DOGS/CATS: Under 20 lbs/10 kg, 5 drops; 21-60 lbs/ 10-30 kg, 10 drops; 61-100 lbs/ 30-45 kg, 15 drops; over 100 lbs/45 kg, 20 drops. In acute cases, such as injury or post surgery, the doses can be given every 15 minutes, up to 4 doses, then follow dosing instructions above. For cases that are not acute, one dose 3 times daily. Once a response is seen, administration should be reduced to 2 times daily and eventually once daily. When symptoms clear up, discontinue use. If a remedy is working well and dosing is not reduced, an aggravation of symptoms from overuse may occur. Stopping the remedy for 3 days will reverse the symptoms, and then treatment can begin as if using for the first time, weaning down as mentioned above.

Pets Under 1 lb: 2 drops in the drinking water 3 times daily.

Birds: Add 2 drops to at least 8 oz. of drinking water daily.

SMALL MAMMALS such as rabbits, ferrets, hamsters, and pot bellied pigs can be dosed by weight as for cats and dogs in previous section.

ADMINISTRATION: Optimally, the liquid preparation should be dropped directly into the mucous membrane of the mouth including lips, ideally in dogs by pulling out the labial pouch and in cats by raising the head until the mouth opens. Where an animal finds this distressful or an owner is unable to comply, the medication can be put in the food, water or milk. Where animals are sensitive to the odor of the alcohol preservative, a 10-20 minute period should be allowed for it to dilute and evaporate before the liquid or food is presented to the patient. Occasionally, animals will shake their heads as a response to the alcohol preservative; cats may salivate excessively and in these cases presenting it in food, water or milk works.

ADVERSE EFFECTS AND CONTRAINDICATIONS: None known, other than reversible effect of overdose. Overdose will result in a return of symptoms after the symptoms have initially disappeared. Where either increased anxiety or a return of symptoms occurs while on the medication, ceasing to use it will alleviate the effect. Patients who are hypersensitive to homeopathic preparations will show response to a single dose, which may not need to be repeated for some time. For this reason therapy should always start with a single dose the previous day and should a major response be seen, therapy should not be recommenced until symptoms relapse and then only a single dose given for maximum effect. Although there is no evidence that there are any safety issues, extra care should always be taken when dealing with pregnant animals. Should a suspected adverse reaction be seen or advice needed, please contact HomeoPet, LLC (contact information at bottom of sheet).

DRUG INTERACTIONS: None known for animal use; keep out of reach of children.

PHARMACEUTICAL PRECAUTIONS: Store at room temperature, out of direct sunlight, and away from strong odors.

USER SAFETY: No adverse effects have been recorded. There have been reports to the company of beneficial rather than adverse effects. As homeopathics are active in humans, care is advised when handling product, although a long history of homeopathics used in humans shows a very high safety margin.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: To date none found.

FORMS: Liquid PACKAGE SIZE: 15 ml bottle
