Bandit got to vets today he did not eat after 7 when i fead him so got his
blood done. His count was a 40. He weighs 1 lb. 7 oz. now He got two meds.
I requested for possable ulcers. One was the Carafate and the other is
Cimetidine. Was tould they would help with the diarreha some too. What is
Cimetidine for? How can you give the Carafate before meals if they hate it so much
and foam at the mouth? Unless a gallon of water to wash down. Was tould to
give 2 x day. Some one tould me it should be every 8 hours not every 12 .
Which is best. I have to surenge feed him, not eating on own hardly.
