Ask the Vet About Diarrhea in Dogs and Cats

We don't use metronidazole as a preventative, but whether he should take it with the temaril-p depends on many things like his bloodwork so consult your veterinarian for the best advice.

Because there are so many potential underlying causes, it is ideal to go ahead and see your veterinarian for a definitive diagnosis and more targeted treatment. If that isn't immediately an option, a good probiotic like this one: https://www.1800petmeds.com/Fast+Balance+GI+Paste-prod10905.html And a broad spectrum dewormer is another good idea - even if they were properly dewormed as pups - one that covers whipworms & Giardia is often helpful and won't hurt, like this one - be sure the active ingredient is fenbendazole: https://www.1800petmeds.com/Safe+Guard+Canine+Dewormer-prod12324.html

For most that is fine but it depends on the antibiotic, so I would want to know the name of the antibiotic and the manufacturer or compounding pharmacy to say for sure - call your prescribing veterinarian for the best advice.

With these types of digestive issues, it really is ideal to go ahead and see your veterinarian for a definitive diagnosis and more targeted treatment.

Since there are so many potential underlying causes, it's always ideal to go ahead and see your veterinarian for a definitive diagnosis and more targeted treatment. If that isn't immediately an option (and it sounds like it's not), rest the stomach for ~12 hours, then give multiple SMALL amounts of bland food (boiled chicken and white rice) and a good probiotic like this one: https://www.1800petmeds.com/Fast+Balance+GI+Paste-prod10905.html And a broad spectrum dewormer is another good idea - even if s/he was properly dewormed as a pup - one that covers whipworms & Giardia is often helpful and won't hurt, like this one - be sure the active ingredient is fenbendazole: https://www.1800petmeds.com/Safe+Guard+Canine+Dewormer-prod12324.html

Contact your veterinarian that prescribed the Semintra for teh best advice: it really depends on many factors (severity of underlying condition being treated based on bloodwork, severity of D., etc.)

Maybe try Heartgard next - they make unflavored tablets as well if the chewables cause diarrhea. Here is a link if you would like to read about it: https://www.1800petmeds.com/dog+heartgard+chewables-prod368151.html

Yes, most kittens have worms so we routinely deworm them for hookworms and roundworms at 6 weeks of age. They can potentially have many other intestinal parasites (like coccidia) that aren't covered by over-the-counter dewormers, so bring a fresh fecal sample to your veterinarian for analysis if the diarrhea continues.

Your veterinarian is the best one to consult about that. There is no adverse interaction between the two, but it depends on his dosage of both and his kidney and liver function (based on bloodwork your vet will have) - like they may want to decrease the dosage of simplicef if it is a little high and/or if he has any organ issues.

A puppy that young shouldn't be inappetant to the point where you have to add people food so I'm more concerned with why he wasn't eating to begin with along with the diarrhea, so yes, I would go ahead and take him in because puppies that small can get dehydrated fairly easily. Take a fresh (within a few hours) fecal sample with you - this will give them a better sample and save him from the rod.

Kittens that age will often have intestinal parasites so be sure he has been dewormed with a product like this: https://www.1800petmeds.com/Drontal+for+Cats-prod10073.html, BUT some intestinal parasites are not covered by routine dewormers so have your veterinarian analyze a fecal sample to check for those if it continues.

I would recommend either Science Diet for sensitive stomach (https://www.hillspet.com/dog-food/sd-canine-adult-sensitive-stomach-and-skin-dry) or ProPlan for sensitive stomach (https://www.purina.com/dogs/dog-food/sensitive-skin-stomach).

This far after the expiration date for something liquid or chewable may potentially have bacteria and make any kind of gastrointestinal issue you may be treating worse, so I wouldn't use it.
