My dog stopped Atopica. Is it normal for her to still have diarrhea?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 1 year and 2 months old | 8.2 lbs

Luna was on atopica for a while but then she started having diarrhea for some time so my vet recommended to take her off atopica since even the antibiotics didn't help her diarrhea. It's been a bit more than a week now that's she's been off atopica but her stools are not solid yet. Is it normal that she still has diarrhea or should it be gone by now?

IF she was suffering from diarrhea for a long time before you stopped the Atopica then yes, it is normal, it can take several weeks for the condition to resolve, discuss with your vet regarding some probiotic products to try and help with the recovery.
