Subject: Aluminum Hydroxide in Pepto?

Hi,
This is a follow-on post to some of my earlier posts last week (ECE, 'chomping'). Turns out now the doctor has her on Amoxidrops (50mg/15ml) @ 0.12cc 2x a day and Metronidazole (125mg/ml) @ 0.1cc 2x a day. She also wanted us to give our little one Pepto with 80mg/ml Aluminum Hydroxide (@ 0.13ml every 12 hours). I've looked at every bottle of Pepto I could find but didnt see this listed as an ingredient. Am I missing something?
Something that alarms me is that the vet has never taken blood from our ferret. Is this normal? I can't help but think she doesn't have a clear idea of what's going on.
Thanks,
Dan
