Has anyone else hadany problems with esophagus ulcers? I'm asking because when I started giving Brissle liquid dox, one time right after giving it to her and she sat there spitting it out, there was some blood mixed in. I checked it out and sure enough, it's a known issue in humans that dox

It's a gel that comes in a tube and has lots of nutrients and calories and is formulated to taste good to cats and dogs so it can be given as a supplement or food substitute when they are sick or underweight. Because it's so gooey, it coats pills well too. Most if not all vets sell it over

One of the things I'm picking up at the health food store today will be gel caps. I'm going to try putting the Dox in a gel cap instead of the Lifesaver chews. Occasionally Grace and I have a hard time pilling and the chew can get stuck to one of her teeth, (not a pleasant experience!).
