-
Anti-diarrheal medications typically costs $15–$50 per week
-
Probiotics often range in price from $15–$30 per box
-
Mucosal protectants usually cost $15–$30 per bottle
-
Prescription gastrointestinal diets range from $3–$5 per can or $30–$70 per bag
-
Antibiotics (if needed) typically vary from $15–$75 per week

Mild or occasional diarrhea can often be addressed through a telehealth appointment, but some situations call for immediate in-person care. Seek emergency veterinary attention if your pet has bloody or black, tarry stool, frequent vomiting along with diarrhea, or shows signs of dehydration, weakness, collapse, pale gums, or a bloated abdomen. These may indicate a life-threatening condition like parvovirus, hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, an intestinal blockage, or internal bleeding. Very young pets, senior pets, or those with pre-existing conditions are at higher risk of rapid deterioration from fluid loss and should be evaluated in person if diarrhea is severe or persistent. If your pet’s symptoms are subtle or unclear, a virtual care appointment can help you get expert guidance from home, making it easier to decide whether emergency care is needed and how urgently to seek it. When in doubt, it’s safest to head to an emergency clinic.
If appropriate and legally permitted in your location, your veterinarian may prescribe medication to support your pet’s treatment. Your Vetster veterinarian will work with you to understand your pet’s symptoms and recommend personalized next steps. Diarrhea has many potential underlying causes and treatment varies, often involving multiple approaches over time.
After your veterinarian prescribes them, you can order diarrhea medications directly through VetsterRx (where available) or fill the prescription at a pet pharmacy of your choice.
The cost of medication will vary pending on your pet’s size, the specific diagnosis, and how long treatment is recommended. Some cases may resolve in a few days, while others, such as those related to inflammatory bowel disease or chronic infections, may require ongoing management. Because there are so many variables, it’s difficult to estimate the exact cost of treatment without a veterinary evaluation. The best way to find out what your pet’s care will cost is to speak with a Vetster vet. Once your vet has diagnosed the issue, you can ask for a cost estimate and work together to prioritize options that align with your budget and your pet’s medical needs.
