The daily medical treatments vary week by week here, but I thought I’d show you what we’re doing every day at the moment. Usually our kitchen counter isn’t this neatly arranged, but for the purposes of the photo I figured I should organize everything. What you see are most of the medications we dispense every morning. Currently getting daily treatments are six dogs, five horses, and one cat.
In the mix are heart drugs, steroids, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, joint supplements, thyroid medications, iodide, pergolide, phenobarbital, potassium bromide, eye ointments and topicals, and yes, molasses. (Not all the drugs are in this photo.) In the small round Rubbermaid is Brynn’s antibiotics, big fat pills we pulverize in that coffee grinder and then mix with the molasses. (Coffee grinder works great, just don’t use it for coffee later!)
Speaking of Brynn, she is doing better … she’s still running a fever but her temperature is coming down every day.
Since our kitchen also serves as the pharmacy and dispensary, our biggest challenge is just making sure we don’t, um, accidentally add a little dexamethasone to the pasta sauce or sprinkle the trimeth sulfa on the pizza.
