The age bands on kids' medicines are usually not mutually exclusive, so the next one up is probably 6-8. Don't know if that's how that one works though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I point out we should be using the guide on the bottle that says 2-6 year old is 1x 2.5ml spoonful every 4-6 hours. She seems to think he can get 1 x 5ml spoonful every 4-6 hours because "he's closer to 6 than he is 5" I get these guides are just that and each kid is different (he's taller than the seven year old neighbour he plays with for a start) but how can a 5 year old be closer to 6 when they're still just 5? Gerry kens how much medicine a bairn can take, allegedly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My kid was allowed a second 2.5ml spoon after 15min of her reaction didn't settle. They are guidelines and if a kid is in hospital they'll base dosage on weight/heighg. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two magpies were attacking a wee bird of some description. The magpies flew away, but the wee one was beyond help so I hit it with a shovel and put it in the bin. I had to do exactly this once after her cat brought in a maimed bird. Took it back outside and leathered it with a shovel. Genuinely made me feel awful for the rest of the day. Fucking cats. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago, when I lived at home with my folks, our dog maimed a bird in the back garden. Dad went out and wrung it's neck.

It's just wee birds it's not like you're beating a dog to death There’s a good chance you won’t connect right and even if you do it’s a far worse death for the thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bird might move as well. Anyway, we know breaking their neck is quicker and more effective, there is no need to go and get a shovel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 My mate ran over a rabbit. It was lying there screeching with a tyre track across the bottom of its back so he took a big rock off a dyke and dropped it on it. But he missed its head and hit somewhere on its torso so had to go again. It was horrific. That rabbit would have loved a shovel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
