Tylan

[Ohiopam]

My 7 yr old GSD has been on Pancreplus for 2 yrs for EPI. She has been having frequent bouts of diarrhea. My vet prescribed metronidazole. I emailed my vet about Tylan and she stated she thought it was difficult to get. Is this True.?
Thanks,
Pam

Hi Pam,

It apparently has just been discontinued in Australia, so I'm afraid our Australian members are out of luck, but we have no problem here. That's a good thing, too, because tylan is the preferred antibiotic for SID (small intestinal dysbiosis). You can order it from Chewy and I'm sure other places, as well. You do need a prescription from your vet.

Thanks! I will definitely let her know.

Good morning from the UK

We used Tylan for 9 years , Metronadazole was only given for a week at most because of its possible toxicity, my vet was very cautious

I am pleased that you can get it still across the pond

Tylan is weight of dog dosed

Good luck

Hi and welcome to our EPI family. You can also get Tylan without prescription from Froy's and Jed's Pigeon Supply - also some Tractor Supply stores I believe. Please remember with Tylan you need to give it twice a day for 45 days and then slowly wean off - don't quit cold turkey.
