[Gpdd] MISC: Question about Medicine

[pat schuett]

Hi Jean,

I believe the two medications are in fact the same.  I have had Sulfatrim prescribed many times for my piggies, and the appearance does change because it's mainly used as an antibiotic for human children and almost always comes mixed into a flavoured liquid of some sort.  (My piggies are just fine with this because it tastes a lot better than most other antibiotics.)  I don`t know the strength of the mixture you have, but I`ve never had less than .5ml (rather than the .05ml you have) prescribed for my piggies (who have had it mostly for UTIs).

Again, because it`s used so often for kids, it tends to be quite gentle on the tummy and likely a good choice for an older piggy.  Is this Aphrodite?  Hope she feels better soon --- ear infections are a nasty painful thing to have.
