Efficacy of veterinary antidiarrheal agent and antinflatulent against diarrhea of dogs

Abstract

The efficacy of a veterinary antidiarrheal agent (BB) and veterinary antiflatulent (DB) were evaluated in clinical cases of dogs with acute diarrhea, in a comparison with a medical antidiarrheal for human (Ph) and placebo (P). A total of 126 dogs were assigned to one of the following treatment groups: single dose of BB, DB, or BB plus DB, and Ph or P as the control. As a result, the therapeutic efficacies of a single dose of BB and DB against acute diarrhea were revealed. Moreover, the combined use of BB plus DB shorten the duration of therapy and its therapeutic efficacy was greater than single use.
