Hibiscrub

[Dundeered]

So I’ve bought some Hibiscrub to use as a wet wipe under Geoffs chin. Can someone advise best way to use? Dilution ratio etc . I was buying clorahexadine wipes but they are costing a fortune and thought I could make up a solution and spray on to a cloth

It shouldnt be diluted as it already comes ready to use. Unless it says to dilute? If not, put some on a paper towel or micro cloth n clean away

If it comes out too expensive try Witch Hazel, fractionated coconut oil n tea tree. This recipe is a bit expensive upfront but will last way long as you will have more refills.

Bare in mind after each drink n meal, it’s where the chin needs to be wipe dry. Usually it’s a teenager period as once they passed that age, you shouldn’t be doing this daily.

1 cup of witch hazel
1/4 cup FCO
20 drops of tea tree (essential oil quality brand like DoTerra, young Living or health food store n ask tea tree from Australia)

shake well n use.

He’s 10 months so is this the teenage phase ? I read somewhere that the Hibiscrub is pink and should have enough water added to make it clear Will go read information label to see if it says anything about dilution. Thanks for advice yet again

I would ask the vet or the pharmacy for advice on concentration. If too strong it will sting and Geoff won't like that!

I think hibiscrub contains chlorehexidine. When I too found those pads too expensive, I started bying chlorehexidine at the pharmacy for Castor. There are different concentrations, so if strong, you might need to dilute it with water. Then I just used it on a cotton pad.

That was my thinking for buying Hibiscrub, I assumed it was ok as a substitute for the wipes . I’ve dabbed a bit on a cotton pad neat and he seemed ok . Didn’t sting him .
