The Key to the Lock Barbara Meyers, the Behaviorist and Grief Therapist for Staten Island-based Holistic Animal Consulting Centre, is using chicken-flavored Cisapride Gourmeds as part of the treatment for her own cat, Raymond's gastroparesis. Affectionately known as "The Rain Man, " this 11.5 year-old, neutered, male, 11.8kg red, mackerel tabby with white markings is a big fan of this new chewable, scored dosage-form from Wedgewood.

We had a good outcome and everyone will be forever grateful to you for the important role you played in this baby's life." | ||||||
