I've begun to put Grace's Dox in a small gel cap, (even the smallest gel cap I could find is too big, I trim it with a scissors first), then cover it with a drop of salmon oil to make sure it's slippery. So far, it seems to be working. Nina [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Doxicycline definitely does

Doxicycline definitely does that if it gets in their mouth at all. I cover it with Nutristat before pilling with it for that and other reasons. Michellle In a message dated 4/27/05 12:31:59 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << Jenn-Thank you so much for that piece of info that I didn't know---
