My dog's diarrhea returned after ProPectalin. Is it safe to continue?

Question

Norik had diarrhea and was seen by Veterinar he was diagnosed with colitis. And prescribed antibiotics, probiotics and pro pectalin. After 3 doses of pro pectalin his diarrhea stopped. But 2 days later after we withdrew pro pectalin his poop became soft again. He is still on antibiotics. Should I continue with pro pectalin and for how long it is safe. He is on bland diet. Thank you! Pet's info: Dog | Spitz | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 7 months old | 7 lbs

You can continue with the ProPectalin, however that does not fight the cause of the diarrhea and only lessens the symptoms. Norik will need to finish his course of antibiotics and probiotics and if the condition does not resolve then he will need to go back to the vet for a more intensive work up of his gastro-intestinal problems. This may include examining his poop, possibly culturing it, x-rays to see whether there is a problem with his intestines, and possibly a biopsy. So, for now finish the medications, keep feeding the bland diet and then have your veterinarian reassess your dog.
