Hey there! It's great that you're looking out for your pup's tummy issues. Proviable Forte is often recommended to help maintain intestinal health and restore the balance of good bacteria in the gut. Many pet parents find that it helps with occasional digestive upset, like diarrhea or gassiness.
Here's what you might want to keep an eye on while using it:
- Positive signs: Stool should become more formed, and you might notice less gas or abdominal discomfort over a few days.
- Possible side effects: While side effects are rare, some dogs might experience slight changes in stool consistency for just a short while as their system adjusts.
- Emergencies: If you see signs of severe diarrhea, vomiting, lethargy, or blood in the stool, these require immediate veterinary attention.
If your dog seems a little off after starting Proviable Forte, you can try giving them plenty of water to stay hydrated and watch for improvement. Make sure you're administering the suggested dose by your vet for the best results. Always avoid self-medicating with substances like chocolate or human medications like paracetamol (acetaminophen), as these can be dangerous for dogs.
If symptoms persist for more than a couple of days or worsen, it's best to reach out to your vet for guidance.
If you're unsure or your pet’s symptoms worsen, it's best to book a call with a vet on Dial A Vet for professional advice.
The "Ask a Vet" forum on Dial A Vet offers general information and helpful tips on pet health, but it's
not a substitute for professional veterinary care. The advice here doesn't create a veterinarian-client-patient relationship, and our vets can't diagnose or treat your pet remotely.
For emergencies or specific medical concerns, always contact your local veterinarian immediately. Your pet's health is unique, and decisions should only be made after consulting with a qualified professional. By using this forum, you acknowledge these limitations and agree to seek in-person veterinary advice for all your pet's health needs. View our
