With my ferrets, I have dissolved Carafate in water and then mixed a
tiny bit of Ferretvite (or similar) into the solution to flavor it.
You end up with something like watery, pale Ferretvite. Mine will lap
that mixture up by themselves right out of my hands, or out of a small
dish.
This also helps with partially-dissolved Carafate, since the
undissolved bits will get licked up too (instead of jamming up in a
syringe like they're prone to).
