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!

Carafate is not a typical medication that I use to treat diarrhea but I don't know your dogs complete medical history. Carafate is an antiulcer medication that coats ulcers in the digestive system and protects them from additional damage from stomach acid. Maybe your vet thinks that your dog also has ulcers. Typically, I treat diarrhea symptomatically with Metronidazole, Proviable KP, and a bland gastrointestinal diet. You could call your vet and ask why he/she is treating with carafate and if there are other medications that could be used, too. Also, ask your vet to check a stool sample for parasites.

Yes you can, a one tablet slurry. I'm not sure it will help much but it won't hurt. Call your vet when you can and report the reaction. It would be best to switch her to a different antibiotic. Amoxi-Clav is notorious for causing GI upset. Hope this helps.

Hello, sorry to hear about Faith. If you think the sucralfate is making her feel sicker then you can chose to discontinue until you talk with your veterinarian tomorrow and discuss permanently discontinuing this medication. An ulcer should have healed by this time. Hope this helps and best of luck.

In the past in the UK we used to prescribe Antepsin syrup or tablets for gastric ulcers, in addition to analgesic medications (no antinflammatories !) and antiacids. It used to be a human medication so needed informed consent from the owners and compliance to the cascade (it could be used in cases where no other authorised animal medication was available). Unfortunately then there was a shortage in his availability and other medications had to be used on their own.. Antepsin, or sulcralfate, created a barrier between the ulcer and the acid content of the stomach. The antiacids now are still used, and their active drug is either omeprazole and/or ranitidine.
