[lots of good info from Bill deleted....]
 
Something which works quite well with Mojo when he has the sniffles is
1-2 cc's of Children's Rasberry Sudafed liquid taken orally with an eye
dropper.  Perks him up very well, and he loves the stuff.  If it was a
very bad cold, we'd probably resort to Nutracal, but luckily we haven't
had to yet (maybe because no matter how bad Mojo feels, he always seems
to want to eat :-).  He's usually over a cold within a couple of days.
