My one and only experience is with Pepto.
RB Cody had a bad tummy and the vet recommended pepto, but never mentioned PILLS and not the liquid, and of course, being insanely upset, I didn't give it any thought.

3/4 of the bottle was on me, the floor, my mom, Cody's face and body.

Just remember PILLS!!!!!! Unless you want to wear pink for awhile!
