My dog accidentally got double Diagel for diarrhea. Is it safe?

Thank you for contacting Pet Coach with your question. Fenbendazole is a pretty safe medication, and you didn't give dog #1 a double dose. That dog should be fine. As for dog #2, you may see GI upset in the form of vomiting, anorexia, and/or diarrhea. If the vomiting or diarrhea is severe, you will need to take dog #2 into a vet immediately. Best of luck, I hope this helps.

Pyrantel has a wide margin of safety. At worst, you may see some minor stomach upset. Offer a bland diet in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve, if necessary, then transition slowly to the regular diet. https://www.petcoach.co/pet-medication/pyrantel-pamoate

Bisacodyl (Dulcolax) is often used as a laxative for dogs, so there should be no problem other than soft stool, maybe some loose stool. Side effects such as cramps, nausea and diarrhea are common, especially if your dog takes other medications. However these should pass relatively quickly. If those side effects appear severe, have your veterinarian examine your dog and make sure there is not another problem lurking.

Hello. So sorry Niko Denali is having this issue. I would not call Diagel a probiotic but it is a natural product to treat diarrhea. You can certainly use probiotics along with what he is taking if you want to do that but you need to use a product made for dogs. The best probiotic in my opinion is Fortiflora. I would use that one if you can get it. Sometimes you can find it at Petsmart or Petco and even sometimes Walmart has it. If not you can buy it online at Amazon. You do not need a prescription for it. DO NOT use yogurt or products made for people. Dog "good bacteria" and human are not the same. If you can't get Fortiflora quickly enough than you can use any product made for dogs. As for taking the two antibiotics at once, yes, those are commonly given together and work well together. They are safe. Best given with a full stomach. I hope this helps and I hope he is back to feeling better soon! Dr. Amber

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Pascal. I'm sorry he's sick! DiaGel can be used in cats, and this may be an off label use of the product. If you have some concerns about, which I understand, don't use it and give your vet a call. Based on the ingredients, it looks to be a holistic product, not a prescription one. I hope this helps!

Hi and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Generally speaking the active ingredients in most of these dewormers for dogs have a very wide margin of safety so giving another dose by accident is not likely to cause any significant issues.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your dog. She likely will not have a problem as this medication has a wide safety margin. I would recommend monitoring her for any vomiting, diarrhea or neurological issues such as muscle tremors. I hope this information helps!
