My cat has GI bleeding due to an ulcer (blood in his stool), my vet prescribed sucralfate but it made my cat vomit about an hour and a half after him taking it, and he threw up his food. Is there an alternative to sucralfate? and why does this medica
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!

I have sucralfate on hand, have an 89# German Shepherd W/ UTI being tx with Amoxi-Clav 875/175 & Proin (50 mg) both 1 tab bid. She is vomiting undigested food due to meds. May I give her sucralfate slurry bid 30 min ā meals?
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.

My Dachshund has a stomach ulcer and is hurting a lot after every meal it seems. I was sick & didn't give her the sucralfate for 1 day and she actually seemed much better. I started giving it to her again every 12 hrs and she is hurting & whining all
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.

I think my vet gave me the wrong dosage for my dog. I have been given carafate/gastrafate for my dogs ulcer. It seems the amount is very small at 0.6 ml twice daily. My dog is 62 pounds. They did not put the dosage on the bottle and instead just put
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.

He's currently taking sucralfate three times a day for ten days, metronidazole twice a day for ten days, cerenia once a day for two more days, she's also prescribed omeprazole twice a day for fourteen days. What's the best order to give these in? I'm
The order should be as followed: Cerenia first thing in the morning, one hour later Omeprazol and Sucralfate, then half an hour later Metronidazole (with food). If he does not throw up and his appetite is fine then there is nothing to worry about.
