I was told to give 100ml port 1 teaspoon brown sugar & a small handful of mince & just before giving that give 100ml of milk Tom if this would be ideal how long before a race will be best . Donnie

Donnie Sorry Donnie but I have no advice I can give you on this one as It is illegal in Australia to give a racing greyhound alcohol at any time and would result in a positive swab. Cheers, Tom

tom can you please give me some advice on these products as I have a stressful bitch TONICO AMPOULES does it swab and RESCUE REMEDY does it swab THANK YOU. Hi Ray, Both products are a homeopathic formulation which means that the quantities of the various drugs in the mixture are only very minute quantities and are therefore unlikely to swab as a once off only. However because they are a homeopathic mixture for any positive effect to occur they would need to be used regularly and a drug buildup in the body as a result of this will mean problems. For instance Tonico Ampoules contain Nux Vomica which is Strychnine, a poison which in minutes quantities acts as a stimulant, is listed as a prohibited drug, and could cause a positive swab. In addition they also contain Arsenic, again a stimulating poison in minute quantities, also listed as a prohibited drug, and again likely to sooner or later cause a positive swab. Rescue Remedy on the other hand contains flower essences and as far as I’m aware contain no prohibited drugs, but again it relies on regular use to have any noticable effect at all, and while in this case the possibility is extremely minute I can’t guarantee that a positive from this product would never occur with long term use. One caution about Rescue Remedy and that is that the preservative used in the human formulation is 27% brandy, and therefore it would be advisable to use the one specifically formulated for pets as it contains glycerin instead of alcohol as a preservative. Cheers, Tom

Thank you for the reply Tom with Tonico Ampoules even though it needs to be used on a regular basis to have a positive affect if I was to give 2ml 24 hrs before a race will it return a positive as I will try it when I trial next because if I don't find something to fix this problem she will never make it to the track
