The meds may not work unless you have found the underlying condition. All colitis is an inflammation of the colon. You have to find out why the colon is inflammated. I have a vet book and it say to use a high fiber diet, this book is wrote by vets. And it says that most colitis is a inflammatory bowel diseases that whipworms are frequent cause of. And then there is Fungal Colitis but is uncommon. Dogs with immune deficiency and lowered resistance may get it. And then you have Prototheca colitis again is rare caused by an algae. So Colitis is just part of what your dogs has you need to have a colon biopsy, & the stool need to be check for parasites and fungi. To find the underlying condition. I am sure you can search and get even more info of it, but this book is vert good and it does not say any kind of med that will help with out knowing the uderlying cause, but does say high fiber diet helps. I think I would try it, and ask you vet alot of question to find what is causeing it. Good luck I hope this helps. (all ways do your homework when you have a vet tell you what is wrong, they are people just like you and me. Read up on it and then is when you will know the questions you need to ask. Have a great day, and good luck. If you find out more let us know. |
