Slippery elm capsule:
Giving the capsules will be most helpful for the stomach, but, they may not “disintegrate” well enough to coat the esophagus, unless followed by a significant amount of water (at least 1/8-1/2 cup water depending on size of dog). Here are a few recipes, and modifications. They have been added to the esophagitis folder on the main board.
