Hi Anon-

I guess I interpreted your post differently than Susan. I didn’t get the impression that you were implying pet owners should sit back and do nothing when their pets are in pain. I felt that you are simply trying to stress that any type of antacid should be given under the guidance of a veterinarian to get proper dosing and monitor reactions (pos or neg). Couldn’t agree more that a vet should be consulted when giving any type of OTC human meds. At the very least, the owner should call the clinic and get the proper dose.

As my boss told me, the difference between pharmacology and toxicology is the dose.
