Propylene Glycol

[Stumpweasel]

morning It occured to me over the weekend that propylene glycol is the very stuff we use to treat 'twin ill' in any of our affected in lamb ewes. Must be good stuff then

It's used in all sorts of things, from treating ketosis in bovines to keeping your icedcream from freezing solid to nebulizers in hospitals... It's a very common thing..

Studies have shown that although fresh air is still best, the vast majority of sheep would rather see their lambs vape over smoking.

I don't know anything about sheep, but welcome to the board.

That's why it's sold by the gallon at most Tractor Supply stores. I think there's something about calves in there, too.

it twigged this weekend i was inhaling the same stuff as we sometimes give the odd ewe and did think it cant be harmful and might help if i get the occasional ketosis espisode. Many more benefits to vaping then

I dont know the full science of it. But occasionally if a ewe that is carrying twins or more is not utilising feed for herself but her lambs are leeching everything then its a ketosis kind of thing. Prop sorts it if its caught quick.

Time to ask the boss if he can up the order for lambing time then

Maybe the sheep don't, but it's most likely that you brushed your teeth with propylene glycol this morning. I know I did. Check the ingredients panel on your toothpaste.

I was about to buy at Tractor Supply but found much better deals online that delivered it to your door for under $40.00 . I am not talking about one gallon , i got a gallon of top shelf PG and a gallon of top shelf VG delivered for $40.00 .

I just missed a deal that had two gallons of each delivered for that price , figures i missed it , hate when that happens.

Nice.

I suspect the ANTZ (public health) are concerned about the 'gateway' from sheep vaping to them instantly
1. smoking 100s (full strength) and,
2. popping drugs

because that so logical...

Any sheep treated is carefully monitored for further substance abuse. I can confirm there have been no instances of progression unless ginger biscuits count.

Ginger biscuits, that's good to know! Even better is a sheep would be much easier to care for than a cow if buying propylene-glycol was ever restricted in some way. Have had cows in the past and do not want to go there again. Need a stronger fence than most any other live stock and once they all have names you can't eat them...

Once met a camel that was addicted to Altoids peppermints. 'Introduced' to her by her owner and allowed to feed her. Another visit over a year later she ran to the fence to greet us wanting more peppermints.

Yup cows are very good at escaping. We have one on the farm who ive renamed Steve McQueen shes very persistant. I found out by accident alot of sheep love ginger biscuits!! Go through alot at lambing between me and the sheep. Its good to know if prop if ever restricted ill still be able to get some

ROTFL over this thread. I work in nursing at a residential facility and PG is used to stop constipation at work.
