Safe Reconstitution for Dog Peps! ❤️

I wanted to share a creative work around I figured out to be able to give our little dog with kidney disease peptides safety.

Bac water while potentially ok for larger dogs without health complications- Is NOT a good thing to use on a little dog- especially if their kidney health is compromised. (Our little guy is 5.5 lbs so I wasn’t willing to risk it.)

I have been learning that peptides are less fragile than we initially all thought and they can survive a freeze thaw cycle (just not done repeatedly).

So what I did instead was reconstitute with sterile saline- and I make ALL the shots at once. (I typically do a variety of doses and also make some that are dose appropriate for me as well.) Then I quickly get them all into the freezer to keep them sterile. I pull them out 10- 15 minutes before injecting them to thaw quick. It’s been working well!

I did this with KPV this week (which seems to really be helping my little guy feel a lot better! 🥹) I make them in my dosing as well so that I can try

It along side of him to make sure that I’m still feeling the benefits and the peptide is active despite going through the freeze thaw cycle.

We have IV fluid bags (that we were prescribed) for sub Q fluids for him so I have just been using that for reconstitution. But I do believe you can purchase sterile water without a prescription as well! (Though it’s not the easiest to find.)
