Antiworming Medication

Antiworming medication is used when colitis is caused by a parasitic infection. Medication is often parasite-specific, and medications vary both in the methods of parasite eradication and potential side effects for the dog.

Antibiotics

Antibiotics are used when colitis is caused by a bacterial infection. One or more antibiotics are prescribed based on the type and severity of the infection.

Anticancer Treatment

Surgical removal is usually the best course of treatment for cancerous tumors causing colitis. Chemotherapy may also be used if tumors are severe or difficult to remove. Oral medications are also an option depending on the type of cancer discovered.

Therapeutic Diet

Changes in diet can be an effective treatment in cases of irritable bowel. Dietary changes usually consist of adding simple, easy-to-digest foods, but are tailored to each dog based on his nutritional needs.

Supplements

Supplements can provide a more natural approach to treatment for dogs experiencing side effects with traditional medications. Supplements can improve digestion by adding enzymes and other digestion aids, which can help calm colitis.
