Worked great on my dog with GI bleed caused by cancer drug
From Janesville WisconsinComments about Sucralfate (Generic)Back in May 2015 my dog was placed on piroxicam to treat his transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. He developed a GI bleed on piroxicam, was placed on misoprostol and sucralfate and hasn't had any GI problems since. When he was diagnosed he was given 6 months to live and that was over a year ago! Sucralfate is very affordable and has enabled my dog to stay on treatment for his cancer. -

From South CarolinaComments about Sucralfate (Generic)Every now and again by 14 year old needs some tummy assistance and this does the trick The standard dose is 3/day for 10 days, but I have found that 2/day for two or three days helps my dog get through occasional stomach upset. This company is very efficient and the pills arrive very quickly giving me one less thing to worry about as I care for my elderly princess.

Sucralfate is a human labeled, prescription generic drug that is indicated for the short term treatment of duodenal ulcers in humans. It may also be prescribed for extra-label use by a veterinarian to treat or prevent gastric ulcers in dogs, cats, and other animals.

should 1/8th of a 1 gram pill be given to a ferret??
-
Sucralfate is a prescribed, anti-ulcer medication that works by coating the gastrointestinal tract protecting it from stomach acid and allowing ulcers to heal. A 1/8th of a 1 gram pill would be a 125 mg dose which would be appropriate for a ferret around the 3 to 4 pound range. Dosing will vary depending on the severity of disease and past medical history of your pet. The dose for your ferret may be adjusted by your veterinarian based on the individual response from your pet as well. Please consult your veterinarian for prescription and dosing recommendations.
