The Puffer Forum

Hi everyone. I'm new here so I'm not sure if this is more appropriate in the hospital
section or here where I may find more SAP owners. I've just got some Finquel and read
as much as I can on usage but I haven't seen anyone mention dosage. The instructions
list milligrams but I don't have a scale. Can anyone help with how much to use ? I just need
to do some teeth trimming and one of my guys is resistant to my other sedation methods.
Thank you very much and if you need more info please let me know.

You'll probably need to find a scale of some sort, there's really no other way to measure it that I know of.

I use the small spoons that come in my Salifert test kit. It's good for 2 cups of water.

Thanks for the replies.
Any idea what size spoon (1/4tsp, 1/8tsp,?).
If I were to find a reasonably priced scale how many mg should I use.
The instructions give 88mg/liter for tropicals for rapid anesthesia and
66mg/liter for sedation.
Just making sure I don't OD the little guy.

I believe we had figured out that 4 of those tiny spoons made a 1/4 tsp. So a 16th?

From older TPF posts I found this:

Try using 1/16 spoonful like PP suggested, but if you want a more accurate measurement, I can send you a tube of 50mg of Finquel so you can get a better idea how much that looks like (PM me with your address if you'd like). I have an expensive ($5000) scale at work that I can use, accurate down to 0.0001g.

Thanks everyone I'll see if I can figure it out now. If not I'll take you up on
the other offers. I did a quick search on the net and it looks like I can get
a scale cheap enough. I'd rather just measure tho.
