Hi John!!!!

: Firstly I'm not an expert on remedies! I wish I was!

- Don't take it too serious!!!! But I was sure that you probably know something about it!!!

However, once I know what
: the remedie contains I can usually make an educated guess as to whether it's ok.
: Sodium chlorite NaClO2 is used in effluent treatmenat (sewage, etc) because it kills
: bacteria and fungi. It's a bit like a mild bleaching agent. It should be safe to
: use with water dogs since it's not directly toxic but rather it is "caustic" - It could
: damage the animals gills slightly, so don't go over the recommended dosage.

- Sodium chlorite sounds to me like sodium hypochlorite, then I suppose that we have to use lower concentrations with salamanders. What do you think about it?

Sharleen.
