Powder Scales - When can I get a good one?

[flintstones]

Patrick has to get 1/10th of a new capsule, it is a really strong med and I don't want to dose incorrectly, wonder if anyone knew where I could get really good powder scales, the capsule is tiny so I would need something that is ultra sensitive.

You could try ebay ?

If you do a search on herb scales there are some that go down as far as 0.01g accuracy - not sure if thats small enough but might be worth a try ?

I did wonder if I could ask them to split the capsule for me.

I did wonder if I could ask them to split the capsule for me.

What medication is it? Is it dantrium?

I split capsules for clients at work - although generally for cats into 1/2 or 1/4s, not as small as 10ths. What size are the capsules mg wise?

It's tramadol 50mg's capsules.

Ask your vet for a written prescription - I think you can get tramadol in 10mg tablets from a pharmacy if I recall correctly...

Just googled and your correct, might make working the dosage out easier.

I had to track some down for a chihuahua

Would definately be easier to half a 10mg tablet than split a 50mg into 10...... IMO
