Our vet is out on an emergency house-call so I just wound up calling
the pharmacist to make sure that our Carafate liquid doesn't have
anything in it that could mess up a biopsy since Chiclet has begun to
grind.  Anyway, it was okay to use so I did and hugged her knowing that
it acts very fast for relief.  First she stopped grinding, then her ears
went back up, then she looked up and me and did a heh-heh-heh ferret
laugh.  Thank goodness that stuff has years on it till it expires; our
bottle will expire in '05.
