Sorry for all the posts, but I'm on the iPad today.... Treatment for curly toe paralysis is 2 100 ug (microgram) doses of B2. I'm not saying that's what she has, just that giving her a couple of doses of B2 won't hurt even though she's on the Corid. To me her poop look better, which is a sign that your treatment is starting to work.

That poop looks better to me too.
I have the b complex vitamin and some human multivitamin without iron but I can run to the pharmacy for only b2 if you think they might have it separate.
Yes her toes are curled on the right leg and that leg is the weaker one.

Ok Kathy, I am going now for some b2 vitamin and thank you for the many posts

Walgreens has it. Let me know what you find and I'll help you calculate a dose.

That poop does look healthier. It certainly won't hurt to try the B2.
Eggs , sardines and yoghurt are high in riboflavin .

Got the b2 100mg from the vitamin Shoppe. Walgreen was out of it and sent me there. Should I give her 2 tablets with the syringe?

The dose is 100ug (microgram), not 100mg (milligram). Do you have a way to measure water? Measuring cup will work. You'll need to put one pill in a liter of water and let it dissolve.

Hold that thought, I have to do some math. DO NOT give any part of the pill!

Are the tablets coated?

Doesn't matter... Take one pill and dissolve it in a cup (8 ounces) of water. Wait for it to completely dissolve. If my math is correct, 0.25ml of that water has a dose that will work for you.

Anyone with decent math skills, please double check for me.

100ug = .1mg
