Fantastic post and I will steal some ideas from it!
Her daily regimen right now is:
400ui Vitamin E
25-50mcg selenium
.25ml prednosone
.5ml Poly Vi Sol

We feed to mouth via syringe every day. She also eats some egg yolk, too. We saw improvements yesterday, and today was a...

Anyways? If so, just literally spray them? What if they get it in...
