You mix it into water and soak just like if you were using Epsom salt.

@Aunt Angus how much Tricide neo did you use with each soaking?

I mixed it according to the package directions. I bought the 5 gallon envelope, divided by 5, and added that amount to 1 gallon of distilled water. I mixed it right in the jug the water came in. I think it was 10.5 tsp per gallon (i used a tsp because it fit nicely into the envelope and made it easier to get the powder into the water jug). Then I soaked with as little as I could get away with and saved the remainder for the next day. The mix is good for a week.
 
Hey yall sorry I've meant to get back to yall its been crazy. I'm really sick currently and haven't been able to do much with her foot. I feel awful but it has just stayed wraped for a few days untouched. I also realized... Idk if I had non chlorine iodine and she has iodine sugar packs in her wraps. Is this bad? I feel so bad if I did something wrong! I feel like I have done everything wrong the way this is going....The vet said to get chlorhexidine to soak in since the oral meds clearly have not worked. Not sure WHAT type of chlorhexidine to get if I WERE to? I think I might order the tricide neo today any ideas?
