Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It looks like Oflokem is an antibiotic and unless Steffy has an infection, it will not help. It could also cause her to vomit as some pets are sensitive to certain antibiotics. I recommend taking Steffy to a vet to find the cause of the diarrhea. She may have parasites, a virus, or a blockage. Good luck and kisses to Steffy!
