To Nancy: >I have a quick question ... how the heck do you cut a Pepto Bismol pill >into 1/16ths??? Actually, it is 15ths, and I would suggest a razor blade or a pill cutter. First cut it into thirds, and then each of those pieces into fifths. Pill cutters are good for cutting without crushing - check with your local pharmacist - You can then crush the fragments into powder and administer with a little laxatone or baby food - the company that makes it - Schering - says that it can be given with food.... Don't forget - every six hours for ulcers.... -- Bruce Williams, DVM, DACVP Department of Veterinary Pathology [log in to unmask] Armed Forces Institute of Pathology [log in to unmask] Washington, D.C. 20306-6000 (202) 782-2600/2602 [Posted in FML issue 1199]
