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!

Dewey is currently on prednisone. I’m not sure if she has pooped the past two days as one of my other cats shares litter boxes with her. Can I give Dewey MiraLax with prednisone? I gave her a 1/8 of teaspoon this morning. Did I possibly do more harm
This drug can be a little tricky when giving it. Your pets complete medical history should be known before starting this laxative, due to possible complications that can ensue. Because of this, I would not continue its use without consulting with Dewey's primary care veterinarian. It is used in veterinary medicine, but it has certain requirements and cautions with use. Also it should always be dissolved and not given in powder form. As a side, Prednisolone does not have constipation as one of the possible side effects to using this medication. If she is constipated, then there is likely another underlying cause. Best of luck moving forward with your pet Dewey. Take care.

There is no medicine you can safely use over the counter for cats. All you can do is encourage her to keep eating and maybe make her an outside shelter to help keep her warm and safe. You can try to add a feline probiotic to the food to help with diarrhea and try to add a GI or intestinal health formula food to help with the diarrhea also.

Hi, my cat is 10.5, male orange tabby, not obese, active. He has not deficated in 2 days. This happened about 4-5 years ago and went on for about a week, and he was close to death. IThat time, he eventually deficated and was immediately fine afterwar
You are better off giving him Miralax powder. The psyllium is a fiber that will bulk up the stools but it isn't really a laxative/stool softener. I would give him 1/4 teaspoon mixed in a bit of canned food every 12 hours to effect. I think this will help tremendously. https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/equate-clearlax/6000189073881 Hope this helps. If you have more questions you can always opt for a private consultation where we can chat back and forth. That way you can ask as many questions as you'd like. Best wishes.
