Game changer!
This medicine had such an instant soothing effect on my senior dog who was dehydrated with ulcer issue. He quickly got his color back and was on his toes again. I want to take it for my ulcer.

Worked for my cat
My 8-pound cat, for several months, seemed to be burping a lot. Sometimes he would act as if he had something caught in his throat. Sometimes his appetite was "off." The vet suggested carafate to be administered as a slurry, and within a few days, his symptoms disappeared. He eats well and no more burping. So I gave this drug five stars for effectiveness. It was sometimes easy to use, but the 1/4 pill took a while to "melt" into a slurry and pieces would get stuck in the syringe. I have no idea how it tastes, but my cat didn't seem to object, but then again, he didn't have a choice; it is shot down his throat through the syringe. I'm just glad it worked!

Great med!
I have a 6 year old Shih tzu that I rescued from a puppy mill 2 years ago, this past spring he started to vomit and stopped eating, many visits to the vet with X-rays and even an exploratory surgery! Stomach ulcers, excess stomach acids the works....finally put on carafate for 2 weeks then he started to eat again, but every time we stopped it he would get sick again so finally our vet said he will stay on a maintainance dose for ever, thank goodness!

Breed Shih Tzu
my dog is well due to this medication
I have a 2 year old Shih Tzu. When I first brought her home she would throw up. This progressed into diarrhea. This has been going on for 2 years. I have had her at the vets office every couple of months. He felt she has inflammable bowel diease. So started the progression of different types of bland foods. Nothing is working. He would give her antibiotics and sucralfate for short periods to clear her up. Just this last Sept. She was bleeding from the bowel and in her urine. She has been on sucralfate since then. I crush it and give it to her 2 times a day, an hour before I feed her. I tried to cut her down to once a day, but she started throwing up again. My vet said the last thing we could do would be to keep her on a low dose predisone for the rest of her life. We will be gone until April so I won't be seeing the vet until I get back but he sent me with enough sucralfate until I get home . That means my dog will be on it for over 6 months. I don't know if she can stay on it her whole life. I hope she can as there are so many side effects from predisone. There is nothing else we can do for her..either medicate or she dies from bleeding ulcers. But it's been so nice to have her well for so long because of this medication.

Breed Dalmation
What a difference
My Dalmation, Jessie, is having a hard time since I've had to put her on prevacox. We started her on this product and with just two treatments, there's a big difference. She's actually asking me for food again. My vet had me desolve the tablet in a syringe with water and then dispense in her mouth. Much easier than trying to get yet another pill down her tummy. And since it's already disolved, it's working immediately. Love, love, love this!
