We can't say for sure that it will never return
Tylan Powder is actually VERY safe for our pets - even if they were to be on it for their entire life. With TJ, he was having these horrible epsiodes, tummy noises, not eating, sleepy and just plain not feeling well and then horrible mucus poops. It then turned to vomitting as well. This was happening at least every 3 days. I was at the Vet left and right. We tried the metrodrone (however you spell it) but it didn't work, tons of poop sample tests, deworming again, then the restrict of all foods and treats except IVD - duck and potato. Nothing was working! Then we did blood tests. The Vet couldn't say for sure exactly what form of IBD (b/c there are a few that fall under IBD, including colitis) unless they did exploratory surgery *no way was I going to do that* - but the tests showed the TJ's folate levels were sky high and beyond, the Vet said he could interpret that to mean that TJ has an overgrowth of bacteria somewhere in the intestinal track. The Vet gave me some Tylan Powder to give to TJ EVERY morning, to see 'maybe, if maybe' this could help. Well, not too long after giving it to TJ every morning, did that aweful mucus poop (and all other symtoms that went along with it) go away! What a relief!!!
I slowly weined TJ off the Tylan. Every month I went another day without the Tylan. I got to the point where TJ was only getting it every 5th day. The Vet said at this point I can stop the Tylan. I said, so that's it??? He said, well for now, but IBD doesn't ever go away completely. He said there probably may come a day where I must give TJ the Tylan again, but he said, we know it works for him and Tylan is very safe for long term. His own dog (she has since passed away) was on Tylan Powder her whole life.
Yes, ask your Vet about it.
