Why does my German Shepherd have diarrhea, gas, no appetite after antibiotics?

These signs could be due to the recent use of antibiotics. Sometimes a bland diet such as white rice/boiled chicken helps but other times an antibiotic specific for colon issues is needed. You could try calling your veterinarian and discussing is trying a bland diet is ok or, depending on the antibiotic used, if they think further treatment is needed.
