My cat vomits sucralfate for GI bleeding. What's the alternative?
I'm sorry to hear that Chance is having all of these troubles. I do not usually have patients that vomit on sucralfate. The medication works best if even on an empty stomach and separate from any other medications he may be taking. I like to have owners give it as a slurry. The tablet will dissolve in a syringe of water and can be given that way. I would try these suggestions before stopping the medication. If he continues to vomit, your veterinarian can prescribe a medication for nausea or another GI protectant instead of sucralfate. I hope this information helps!

Vet Q & A
My dog has an ulcer. Is 0.6ml Carafate enough for a 62lb dog?
I would recommend calling your veterinarian to clarify the dose. The dose for Carafate does seem low to me but their is a very wide range for the medication. Since the veterinarian prescribed Carafate they might have a specific reason for the lower dose. I would follow the label until you can contact the veterinarian.

My cat has chronic diarrhea and swollen bum after I gave medicine.
Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Zentel is listed as a human albendazole product. If this is the medication that you gave your cat, I recommend a visit to the vet asap as cats can be very sensitive to albendazole, it is not a medication typically used in cats.

Cat bathroom issues after X-ray & meds. Stones or constipation?
Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. There are definitely radiopaque dense gravel-like objects near the bladder and cranial to it as well. It would help to provide the x-ray where she is laying on her back as well. Multiple views on x-rays help pinpoint locations of objects if there is doubt as to where they are located. I would say that this looks to be near the bladder but not within the actual bladder itself because the same dense material can be found forward to the bladder on this x-ray, so it is likely GI tract. If you can provide a second view that would be great. It also appears that she has quite a bit of fecal material in her intestines. Is she constipated right now? If so, she may need an enema and stool softener. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

My dog is sore. Can he take Carprofen with Carafate and Omeprazole?
There are no drug interactions between omeprazole, carafate and carprofen however, don't give them all together. You would want to give the carprofen either 1 hour prior or 1 hour after giving the others. Carafate and Omeprazole given at the same time as carprofen will inhibit it's absorption. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
