Is there an antibiotic treatment for human colitis?!
Question: My dog has recurrent bouts of colitis. She has been on rounds of prednisone and amoxicillin several times. Is there a human treatment for this disease such as antibiotics or a drug that I might ask my vet about? She is so thin, but does seem to do better on the high-carb diet.

Of course there is as a matter a fact your dog has been taking almost what human take.
Humans can suffer coelaic I was wondering if animals can as well
If so then take his off all Wheat product including Pasta unless you can get hold of the pasta made with eggs???
Ask your vet is it possible a Animal can have coelaic disease.
Best of luck
Treating human colitis is usually determined by the cause of the inflammation. In cases where it's caused by a bacterial infection, then antibiotics are considered appropriate. The antibiotic is chosed based on results of stool cultures, though- which detemine the specific bacteria responsible. Otherwise, it's usually treated the same as with your dog- with steroids or other anti-inflammatory drugs, and dietary changes. In humans, actually- the diet restricts carbohydrates, dairy products and things like caffeine, which wouldn't exactly be part of the average dog diet. From what I know of colitis in various different animals, the treatment is pretty much the same, so it sounds like your vet is doing about all that can be done. The only other thing I might suggest is to locate a veterinary college near you and see if your dog can be seen in their clinic. If they didn't have a better answer for you, nobody would.
