Unless there's too much in the tablet version compared to what you gave it in the powdered version? Take them back to where you bought them from and tell them what the deal is with them, and get a refund or exchange them for the powder version. Then again it could be something else? How they getting on now? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would of thought it was exactly the same stuff. I use the powder and have never had a problem with it. Regards Ben Yeah it is exactly the same stuff, but if the lad was giving say for instance a quarter of a tea spoon to his dogs, then the tablets might contain more than what they're used to deal with. I also found that when I give my dogs the powder, they would sometimes turn their noses up at their food if the powder wasn't mixed in properly. So I gave it to them mixed in properly with some raw minced beef and had no problems that way. Edited February 5, 2009 by Attack Fell Terrier Quote Link to post Share on other sites
