[HolisticPet2] How to make Herbal Dosage Balls
These are great for giving herbs to animals reluctant to eat the herb when it is mixed with their food. Also, you know exactly how much of the herb the animal is getting. I especially like these for giving herbal worm formulas to kids (young goats) and dogs because most of the time they love them and beg for more which makes it so easy to administer.
Herbal Dosage Balls For Livestock:
Add:
With your fingers (or in a food processor), mix and kneed into a dough. Break into 16 even pieces, shape into balls and then roll the balls in a little bit of Slippery Elm powder just to coat. Each ball equals a 1/2 Tablespoon dose. Offer an herbal dosage ball to the animal first, and he may eat it right out of your hand. If he won't, shove it in his mouth. Often, the animal realizes the balls taste good and want more. If he spits it out, just shove further back in the mouth next time. (For goat kids, or other smaller animals, I break the balls into smaller pieces to administer.) Herbal Dosage Balls For Dogs:
Add:
With your fingers, mix and kneed into a dough. Break into 12 even pieces, shape into balls and then roll the balls in a little bit of whole wheat flour just to coat. Each ball equals a 1 tsp. dose. Offer an herbal dosage ball to the dog first, and he may eat it right out of your hand. If he won't, shove it in his mouth. Often, the dog realizes the balls taste good and want more. If he spits it out, just shove further back in the mouth next time. |
