Hello, this depends on what kind of GI condition you are referring to. If you are treating a GI condition with antibiotics, well, this should improve within a week of treatment. If you are speaking about side effects associated with antibiotic administration, then this would like persist until the effect of that antibiotic has subsided. This may take several days to clear up. If her GI condition does not improve within the next 3-5 days, then have her evaluated by your veterinarian soon. Hope this helps and best of luck.
