Always follow your veterinarian’s instructions precisely regarding dosage and administration. Incorrect dosage can lead to suboptimal results or even adverse effects.
Administer sucralfate powder with a sufficient amount of water to ensure complete suspension and easy swallowing. Avoid administering with acidic liquids, as this can reduce its effectiveness.
Monitor your horse for any signs of adverse reactions, such as diarrhea, constipation, or changes in appetite. Contact your veterinarian immediately if you observe any unusual symptoms.
Do not use sucralfate if your horse has known allergies to the medication. A thorough allergy check is recommended before initial administration.
Store sucralfate powder in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to maintain its potency and shelf life. Check the expiration date regularly.
Note: Sucralfate is not a substitute for proper veterinary care. It’s crucial to address underlying health issues contributing to digestive upset. Use sucralfate as part of a holistic treatment plan directed by your veterinarian.
Regularly review your horse’s progress with your veterinarian to gauge the effectiveness of the treatment and make necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.
Be aware that sucralfate can interact with other medications. Inform your veterinarian of all medications your horse is currently receiving to prevent potential interactions.
