Sometimes the obvious is just....not. (headdesk)
As of this evening, dr. wants me to up her dosage to the .8 ml twice a day. Very nervous about doing that, but he feels we need to get this therapy ramped up. We were supposed to wait for four days of dosing at the .4 mls.
All on a holiday weekend too. *sigh* I would hate for her to suddenly react overnight. Is it likely she might have a problem after only two days of treatment so far or has she had enough at the low dose so that she should tolerate the higher one? Or can it wait till morning do you think?

Columbo's sucralfate is dissolved in water. The vet's office told me warm water works best. I always use filtered water from the frig, which is chilled, so I would drop the half tablet in the prescribed 6mil of water 30 to 45 minutes before it was time to give it. It was always dissolved when it was time to use it. All I had to do was shake it up, put it in the syringe and give it to him. His directions say at least 2 hours after a meal and at least 1 hour before a meal.
