What side effects do the Tagament and human drugs have? Would they be the
same as for humans? As I recall Tagament is prone to cause Migraines,
bladder problems, and vision problems in Humans, affects more females than
males is what my doc told me when I had my ulcer and had to choose
medications. What side effects do the Gastroguard carry?

Late last summer Star got Strangles and a suspected Ulcer from stress. Vet
felt like we caught hers early enough that taking a month or so of pasture
rest, which she had to have anyhow due to Strangles, would take care of
hers. I still ground her up 4 tums with her antibiotics and Vitamin C for
two weeks, and fed her some as treats everyday for a month. Eight weeks
later her anemia was better and she'd put all her weight back on.
