hiya. just incase some of you wanted a tip to save money there is a thing made by gold label called triscrub and it is the same as hibiscrub just with essential oils and its half the price.

....but it only has half the amount of chlorhexidine in it!

oh really

 

[dreamcometrue]

Might as well buy Hibiscrub then as you are not saving any money.

Hibiscrub is incredibly harsh on skin. I avoid it.

 

[gypsiegal567]

i always dilute the triscrub at least 1:20 and use saline most times

 

[Pinkvboots]

Never use hibiscrub one of mine is allergic and it is really harsh on skin.

To be honest the gold label one is probably a better option as not as strong if its not as strong.

the trick with hibiscrub is to dilute it 1:20.........leave on for 5-10min and then rinse of. it actually penetrates the skin and you don't want it on in excess

there was an excellent article in horsemanship magazine whilst it was running on hibiscrub ...... basically you have to dilute it massively. I can't remember the exact ratio but even the 1:20 mentioned above might not be enough. But the resulting mixture should be clear and the same viscosity as water. Used correctly (ie sparingly), it is very good, but very few people actually use it properly.

Vets and vet hospitals typically use it still pink for cleaning injection sites / surgery sites etc.

yeah at least 1:20 or more if u are going to use it, i only use hibi for a few things mostly i just use saline at 1 pint previously boiled to 1 tbsp

Easier IME to use sterile saline eye pods.

….but sterile saline and hibiscrub serve two very different purposes. It depends what you are using it for.

It was a comment to poster above who said mostly used boiled water and saline. Was suggesting saline pods are easier snd more sterile.
