[Jacob-list] Lamb having trouble breathing or swallowing?

[Linda]

Thanks, Cathy

I didn't know that about pepto-bismol.  It's good to know of things we can run to the drugstore to get in an emergency.  Are there forms of charcoal that are safe other than the activated charcoal that you buy from a vet supply?
