I use this: Lugols 5% Iodine Solution 30ml, True 5% Liquid Formulation, Bulb Pipette for Easy & Accurate Dispensing, Formulated & Made in Wales amzn.eu/d/iu2tByQ2 drops in 500ml. |

Loz, I just have Buddy, so how would I work it out for him? It’s twice a week isn’t it? Do you mix it up for the week and keep it in the fridge? And where did you get a pipettes?
Sorry for all the questions 🫣

Sorry for all the questions 🫣 Of course, just Buddy there! If it were me, I'd put one drop in 250ml water and simply throw away the excess. The small bottle would last well over a year and the waste is minimal. You could keep the excess solution for a week or two, I imagine but why bother? Actually, you could buy the 3% Lugols and use one drop in 150ml water. Less wasteful. I use iodine once per week. The pipette comes with the bottle |

Thank you that’s so helpful 👍🏻. This one ok? [/urlThis one is fine. The usage I was given to work with was 2.5%, three drops into 100mls, so for yours I would use two drops into 100mls, or simply one drop into 500mls if that’s the size of his drinker. Once a week is all that is needed; too much can be as dangerous as too little. |

We mix up the 500ml amount & keep it in the fridge. He gets it twice a week & the mix is used twice before being discarded (ie 1 week), hope that makes sense!
