What's the matter?

 

[mirecipes]

My packets for my neti pot contain
Sodium bicarbonate 700 mg
Sodium chloride 2300 mg

Sodium bicarb is baking soda
Sodium chloride is table salt..

Most folks use a whole package in their "neti pot" but I usually only use half..
Hope that helps?

Another option is to go buy a large bottle of saline for eye irrigation. It will be in the contact lens care section.

We make it with 8 grams NaCl per liter of deionized water.
We use a lab scale but I think that's about a slightly heaping tsp per liter.
It would have to be sterilized though.

It was attacked by a dog.And the skin was tore from its neck,and they say to use saline on it.To cleanse it. Thanks so much,,Sandra

After you do the saline irrigation..You might try a triple antibiotic ointment..(like "neosporin")
It will keep the scab flexible and help keep infection out

Edited to add...Without painkiller..never use anything that ends in "caine" on a chicken from what I've read
