What medicine do dogs take for diarrhea?

Method 1:

Feed dogs with clean water, drinking a lot of water, and replenishing the loss of water in the body, which is extremely important.

Don't give puppies easy to take the medicines we humans. Unless it is caused by viral and bacteria, ordinary diarrhea does not require oral medication.

Stop taking any nutritional pills to your dog.

Try not to use antidiarrhea drugs as much as possible. It is best to expel dirt from the body. Don’t believe that pectin, acidophilus, carob powder, barley, bananas and other things can have the effect of antidiarrhea. Those who only delay the elimination of food waste residues are better.

Method 2:

Gentamycin: Can be used, but cannot be used for a long time, cannot be used overdose, and has ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity.

Floperic acid: The effect is stronger than gentamicin, and the antidiarrhea effect is better than genta. If it is for enteritis, I usually use this one more. However, there will also be side effects on the liver and kidneys.

Othyroidocycline: This is also a relatively common diarrhea drug, with strong motivation. If it is long-term diarrhea, it may cause certain damage to the mucosa and is not suitable for infectious diseases such as small and coronary.

Simida (montmorillonite): This is divided into adults and children. If used for dogs, it is best to use it for children, as the damage will be less.

Probiotics: Mommy Love is the most commonly used probiotics for dogs. This type can be used for a long time and has less effect, but it is not like the medicine above. Side effects are relatively small.

What should I do if my dog has diarrhea?

Purchase appropriate dog food, it is not recommended to eat one brand of dog food. In addition, immediately throw away the leftover canned dog food and non-dry foods for each meal; the leftover dry foods of the puppy should be dumped every day;

Do not feed the puppy hard chicken bones or fish bones; do not feed the puppy as dog food, because cat food contains too high protein; do not give the puppy spoiled and rotten food; do not give the dog too greasy things, such as soups that people eat, which are prone to diarrhea after eating!

Be careful not to let the dog catch a cold. When the weather is cold, prepare a dog kennel to give the dog a warm and comfortable environment.

Dogs cannot take medicine casually when they have diarrhea. It depends on what the situation is. A friend uses flupacic acid and berberine for dogs. This cannot be given to dogs. It has toxic side effects and has an impact on kidney function. Remember!

Think carefully and see which situation is. Generally, simple diarrhea can be fed some Gudeng probiotics. This main ingredient is Bacillus coagulis, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Bifidobacteria. It has a good reputation in the forum for treating diarrhea in dogs! A small packet at a time, mixed in powdered food or fed directly after dissolving, there is no problem with this.

If the dog is in poor mental state, the body temperature will rise. Don’t delay vomiting or watery pp. Go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment. There is a high possibility of smallness or canine distemper. If it is simple enteritis, you must be treated in time. If it is delayed, it will cause minor or canine distemper, even if you are vaccinated.

Precautions for diarrhea in puppies:

For delicious food, most dogs are welcome. Especially for puppies, they cannot control their own food. If the owner does not control it, they will easily cause vomiting and diarrhea due to excessive food, which will lead to digestive diseases such as acute gastroenteritis. The indirect dehydration and decreased resistance make dogs very susceptible to severe infectious diseases.

Do not disturb the puppy when it is eating, otherwise it will become very nervous when eating in the future; do not meet its requirements because the puppy begs from you, as this will cause it to develop bad habits, and the puppy will soon be overweight. A complete set of strict feeding time should be established to let the puppy eat in its bowl.

If there is no good reaction after feeding probiotics, go to the hospital for examination to see if it is small.
