How long can u keep a cat on tylan powder for I.B.S. ? Is there a injection or tablet form I can use ? Is there any other meds ?
Hi and thank you for your post on Boop by Petco 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 Boop by Petco!

My cat is 20 years old and is being treated from small cell lymphoma of his small intestines. The vet oncologist prescribed Chlorambucil. He had one dose and will have a CBC next week which would be 2 weeks since he took the Chlorambucil. But as of a
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! I would get a probiotic like Purina Fortiflora. If the metronidazole isn't working I would ask for tylan and Hill's i/d to help control the diarrhea. The drug can cause GI upset seen as vomiting and diarrhea. You can discuss trying a lower dose with your Vet when they call you back. Lowering the dose will make it less effective against the lymphoma. I wish you the best!

My dog was diagnosed with pancreatitis and small intestinal dysbiosis a couple weeks ago. He was put on low fat food and Tylan powder at that time. He is getting a massage this weekend and they use essential oils on the skin, inhalation, and through
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.

She has been on and off again having diarrhea. Took her the vet and they put her on meds. She's been on a strick chicken and rice diet. Diarrhea is yellowish runnie and you can see the rice. She's on tylan powder and probiotics.
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.

my vet prescribed lysine powder for my adult male cat. can i use nature made supplements for humans ? Its the same amino acid and its much cheaper
I would also like to add that sourcing is a big issue for supplements. Apart from the palatabity, some companies are better than others. If you choose this route, make sure you speak with someone in a supplement specialty store about reputation. Since there is no governing body for supplements, contaminants are possible.
