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.


That is not a preferred protocol for ulcer treatment. What I treat
with is either amoxi/metronidazole/pepto or amoxi/biaxin/carafate or
amoxi/metronidazole/carafate.
