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.

It really depends on what she is being treated for. Some treatments are 7 days, some may last up to 4 weeks. If she has been on it for that long and still has not improved, I would consider talking to your vet about doing a culture to see what type of infection it is and what antibiotic will be most effective at treating it.

Unfortunately, we are legally prohibited from providing a dose in the absence of a physical exam and VPCR (Veterinarian-Patient-Client Relationship). It is important to have a UTI diagnosed by your veterinarian. A sterile urine sample can be collected and submitted for culture and sensitivity. This may identify the organism responsible as well as the best antibiotic to use in treatment. The SMZ-TMP tabs you have may not be effective against the bacteria. Additionally, inappropriate antibiotic use can lead to resistant bacteria and may complicate any underlying condition which could delay diagnosis.

Inflammatory bowel disease is an immune-mediated problem, in which the immune system attacks the cells of the intestines and causes inflammation, thickening, poor absorption of nutrients, etc. Prednisone is a powerful anti-inflammatory drug, and also has immuno-suppressive effects at higher doses. Both of these characteristics are useful in treating IBD.

Hi and thanks for posting. Prednisone and Azathioprine are common immunosuppressive drugs given for this disease. If anterior uveitis is present, topical steroids may be administered as well. I hope this helps and thanks for using Boop by Petco!
