3. Bismuth Subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol) In some cases, Pepto-Bismol can be used to soothe upset stomachs and reduce diarrhea. Notably, this medication is not suitable for all dogs, particularly those that are pregnant, have bleeding disorders, or are on certain other medications, so professional guidance is crucial.

The management of diarrhea in animals typically involves a multifaceted approach addressing the underlying cause, providing supportive care, and using antidiarrheal medications when appropriate. It is important to note that while antidiarrheal drugs can be helpful, they are not always suitable for every case. The specific circumstances, including the animal's age, health status, and the severity of diarrhea, must be assessed by a veterinarian before initiation of treatment.

While calcium powder is generally safe when used as directed, it is crucial for pet owners and livestock managers to consult with a veterinarian before starting any supplementation program. A veterinarian can assess an animal's dietary needs and recommend suitable products based on factors such as age, activity level, and overall health. Regular monitoring of calcium levels through blood tests may also be advisable for those animals at higher risk for deficiency or excess.

5. Hookworm Infections Including Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus, which can cause anemia and protein deficiency due to blood loss.

Expectorants work chiefly by increasing the volume and reducing the viscosity of respiratory tract secretions. They stimulate the goblet cells and other mucus-secreting glands in the respiratory pathways. As the mucus becomes more fluid, the cilia—tiny hair-like structures lining the airways—can more effectively move it upwards towards the throat, where it can be expelled through coughing. This physiological process is crucial for keeping the airways clear of obstructions, thereby improving breathing and preventing infections.

1. Itching and Scratching Dogs may excessively lick or chew at their paws, trying to relieve the itchiness caused by the infection.
