;) asked:


My dog has recurrent bouts of colitis. She has been on rounds of prednisone and amoxicillin several times. Is there a human treatment for this disease such as antibiotics or a drug that I might ask my vet about? She is so thin, but does seem to do better on the high-carb diet.

Glamour Girl asked:


I got severe bloody diarrhea last tues around 2:30 am until about 12pm on Wed. I was rushed to the hospital/admitted and put on fluids (sodium chloride and potassium) and later dextrose for Wed-Friday none stop.. Today is now Monday and I still havent had a bowel movement since Wed. I am getting concerned. I mete with my internist and gastrologist this Thurs as a followup so I definetly with let them know. I am also on 500mg of Flagyl 3 times a day and once a day of Levaquin 500mg once a day. Is this normal or should I be concerned that I havent went yet? Is it side effect from the meds or the potassium?
I forgot to add that The doctor did perform a colonoscopy & a biopsy. I get results this week from the biopsy
