I've used it 3 times now, and I used the Frontline Plus once (the first time). My vet also Rx's the Frontline Plus for our goats.

I know my DIL's Vet office sells it and uses it. They have givens us some. I have not heard or read anything negative about it.
So I'm good with it. I can also use it on the dogs.

Recipe? There's a recipe? I just start putting stuff together and keep on till it tastes good.

I am a "cooks by the seat of my pants" kind of girl........

This one I started in the blender. I put a can of stewed tomatoes and pureed them. Then I added garlic, onion, Coca Cola, brown sugar (I "measured' this by choosing a ping-pong sized clump from the bag,) chili powder, mustard, Tabascos sauce, Dales sauce, pancake syrup, apple cider vinegar, black pepper, Heinz 57 (I won't add this next time) and later, some ketchup. I would have added some liquid smoke, if I had had any on hand.

SCG, Deb, others, you were right. I had tasted it before I cooked it and the vinegar was overwhelming, but I let it simmer on the stove for several hours and added some ketchup and the result was delicious!

Thanks everybody!

An old timer (breeder/shower) taught me to make "homemade frontline" for chickens. His formula is a three pipette box of PetArmour for (88 - 139lbs?) extra large dogs (all three doses) in 10 ounces (no more, no less, I did follow that recipe!) of rubbing alcohol, and shake well. Then put a drop on the skin between the wings at the neck and a drop near the vent. He raises bantams so I put an additional drop under each wing on my adult large fowl. It works like a charm.

SCG - With your knowledge of chemistry, I bet you could figure out what that dosage is and convert it to spray form. It would be much cheaper..........

Sounds great!

Try a cup or so of some Ketchup, a cup of brown sugar and some juice off some maraschino cherries on some pork chops or chicken. Let it soak in for an hour or so then cook. YUMMY

Been busy here today too. Got home yesterday from Maryland and just kind of chilled out. Today I had to at least start attacking our back yard. We are losing Sid in the grass it is so tall. DH told me he was going golfing so I told him I would get the first mowing and raking done to start getting it under control. Then he told me the mower needed a new battery so the first thing I had to do was get the bad battery out and go to town to get a new one. Got the new one and got it installed. Mower starts like a champ now. Got the first cutting done and half of the raking but then it started raining. Hopefully it will stop long enough in a bit to get the rest of the raking done. We haven't been able to mow in a couple of weeks because of the rain. Not complaining about the water but we need to get the jungle under control.

Now I have time to run into town again and scout around JoAnn. Probably not a good idea but I'm gonna go anyway.
ETA - I also did a little spring cleaning in my closet and dresser and took two big bags of clothes to the donation bin. I still have more to go through but it feels good to give away those perfectly good clothes that I don't wear any more. Basically got rid of anything I hadn't worn in the last year.

If you make soup and it is too salty, is there a way to draw some salt out? I remember reading (I think) that if you throw in a slice of raw potato that does the trick? Anybody know if that is true? Course I'd hate to waste a slice of potato that I could otherwise bake for lunch. Maybe I could find a potato donor.

I quarter a whole potato and let it cook for 30 min. Then you get the benefit of large chunks you can pull out and eat and it does get the salt to the right amount. Need more salt taken out? Add 2 quartered potatoes.

I gave the momma hen back her chicks plus a poult. I figured if I rubbed them all on her she would not know the difference and being a first time momma she took them all! YES!!!!
Now I can turn off the light in the brooder for a couple weeks!

So she now has 10 chicks and a poult.
