If you suddenly found yourself in a nudist colony would it be a very big problem for you to go around naked like everybody else?

Not for me. If I didn't live in this clothes-minded idiotic society (United States), I'd be a natural nudist myself. I'm glad someone other than myself thinks of nudism. And besides, what's the big deal about nudity anyway? If we are all born nude, why can't we stay that way? Why is it that when a baby or a very young toddler is naked, he or she is cute and adorable? But then, a few years later, that same boy or girl suddenly has to hide that same body that has already been seen before. Why can't this country get out of its hole...and I mean a**hole!

How many ml of penicillin do you give your dog for ear infection?

Amoxicillin is the most common antibiotic in the penicillin class prescribed to dogs and cats for treating bacterial infections. Taken orally the dosage range is 10-20 mg/kg, divided into 2 doses daily for dogs and 3 doses daily for cats.

Different penicillins have different half lives in people and in dogs, so it's best to ask a veterinarian for advice, even when you plan to treat the dog yourself.

Penicillins kills bacteria by not letting them build a proper cell wall while they grow. But only take or give penicillin if you must because bacteria including Staphylococci can build resistance to this drug. They actually learn how to alter a molecular component of the antibiotic to make it ineffective!

Penicillin tablets and capsules can be stored at room temperature. Oral liquids in solution must be refrigerated and stay good for 14 days.

This drug works best if given 1 hour before feeding or 2 hours after. If stomach upset occurs penicillins may be given with food.

Calendula, arnica, hepar sulphur and silicea are some homeopathic remedies that are used in the case of a perforated ear drum.
