Is the stuff you get in hospital the same as the veterinary stuff?

Yes, its the same!! My niece with CF has IV's at home sometimes, so her mum is given a good supply of Hibiscrub, and the odd bottle has been known to mysteriously find it's way into my cupboard! Especially in winter if the horses have any mud rash!
And before there's a comment, can I just add that they send her so much of it, it would go out of date before she could possibly use it all!!

Only difference will be how much the vets charge you for a bottle!!

I buy it from from the Vets. I havent bought any for some now as its best to dillute it ( I do a 10- 1 mix ) if you are using it as an antiseptic for dogs, but it is very cheap & lasts for ages.

Dont know how much the vets charge but you can get it in any good saddlers shop or on ebay! £3.49 ish is what you will find - plus delivery unless you collect from a shop! Julia - excellent product for the horses!

Some Boots sell the large one cheaper than the small bottles.

Shouldn't the hibi for canines have a different PH factor than the one for humans? I ordered some from viovet website yesterday, it was half the price I would have paid for it at my local vets.
