Severe Allergic Reaction, Itching, Diarrhea. Taking Vanectyl P. Side Effect Of Steroid?
I have a golden doodle (7 years old/FS) on Vanectyl -P for a severe allergy reaction that appears every August. This has been the worst year yet.
While it is controlling the itch, she's developed diarrhea, which is only controlled with Metrodinazole. Is diarrhea a side affect of the steriods and antihistimine mix in Vanecty-P?

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Yes, diarrhea(less common) is one of the side effects of Vanectyl P.
Other side effects are immune suppression,behavioral problems, increased thirst and urination, increased hunger,vomiting,gastric ulcers etc.
Long term use may lead to muscle weakness and liver impairment.
Take Care
