How long can my cat stay on Tylan for IBD? What other meds help?
Hi and thank you for your post on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach this afternoon! Tylan powder can be used in cats with IBD, but is not a long term solution for this problem. Tylosin can come in tablet, liquid suspension, or capsule form. IBD symptoms will reappear after stopping the Tylan administration. Prednisolone can help symptoms as well as another antibiotic called Metronidazole, but again, these drugs are not for long term usage. Changing the diet to a novel protein source that is highly digestible can really help IBD patients. Sometimes there is a concurrent food allergy causing the symptoms so it is worth exploring with your veterinarian if a food trial or food allergy screening test is worth doing. High fiber diets can also help as well. Most diets that can help with IBD are prescription diets that are available through your veterinarian. I hope this helps and thanks again for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

My dog's yellow runny diarrhea isn't improving with meds and diet?
If tylan is not effective in the next 4 days I would recommend to switch to metronidazole and give panacur (commercial name of the worming treatment) to make sure any kind of parasite and bacteria infections are covered. Please discuss all these options with your local vet depending on their suspicion and possible differential diagnosis.

Are essential oils safe for dogs on Tylan powder medication?
I'm not aware of any essential oils that would interact with Tylan powder. Dogs can be sensitive to topical essential oils so you may want to be cautious with their use. I personally wonder what it is like for an animal with such a sensitive sense of smell to experience essential oils - this might be more fun for people than pets.

Tylosin helped my puppy's liquid stool. Will his diarrhea return?
Tylosin is a very specific antibiotics used mainly for tylosin responsive colitis, hopefully this will solve the problem but you will be able to know for sure only after you finish that course of antibiotics that the vet prescribed Winston.

How do I prepare my sick small dog's vet-prescribed medicine?
Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! Unfortunately you didn't provide your dogs weight so we can not give you doses. I recommend calling your Vet when they re-open. In the US it is not legal to prescribe medications with out a label and the medications not reconstituted (made in to a liquid from the powder form). Are you in the US? Also in the US we do not prescribe Acetominophen ( https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/tylenol/ ). I recommend calling your Vet regarding that medication as we can't recommend giving it to dogs. I am sorry but if you want to re-post with Ringa's weight we can probably help with the Amoxicillin).
