I'm sorry to hear that Panda wasn't feeling well. I hope he is feeling better after his drip. Loratidine (the generic name for Lorafix) does have some potential side effects, but I would not expect any problems with the GI tract from that drug. I am attaching more information about the medication below. https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4952347 Unfortunately, we sometimes can't figure out what causes some episodes of dehydration, but if Panda was just recently started on the medication, I would certainly ask your veterinarian if they would recommend trying another medication for Panda's allergies. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and that Panda is feeling better. Thanks for using PetCoach.
