Subject: What do you think?

My little Mojo has gastric ulcers. Went from 90 to 0 practically
overnight. Vet has him on amoxi and dexameth as well as force-feeding
12 cc's AD and 12 cc's water 3 to 4x/day. This seems an unusual
protocol for ulcers in that there's no ulcer-coating or soothing
component.

What I'm wondering is would it be okay to give Mojo a little pepto in
between feedings if he's teeth grinding?

Also, looks like he has a mast cell tumor on back right paw (looks
just like the one on Dr Williams web site). Just popped up today. I
know it's important to have them removed ASAP but I don't think Moj
is an ideal surgical candidate right now. Will it hurt to wait until
ulcer healing is well under way?

Thanks -
Lo
