Hi, we had some pups once with Campylerbacter and our vet said none of the dog antibiotics worked against it and prescibed us human stuff. It is Banana flavoured, the pups loved it and it is called erythromycin. it sorted them out in days and it never came back again. so probably worth asking your vet to order that for you. Also it is very contagious to humans so make sure lots of handwashing etc. after handling pup.

Yes erythromycin is the treatment for campylobacter in both dogs and cats

hi-i know this post is from a while back but we have thee same problem with our miniature english pup Georgy.Campylobacter keeps coming back.im very tempted to try the garlic capsules.Was everything ok after that? thanks-sweetpea

It's rather irresponsible to use herbal treatment if you don't know exactly what it is you're treating. If there is the slightest doubt about the diagnosis, a trip to the vet is essential. You might be treating for one ailment or symptom whilst overlooking a serious underlying cause.

I have always given my guys Garlic and Brewers yeast tabs every day, having 5 dogs and a cat(who I dont give it too) non have ever had fleas, although it does not work on ticks. edited to add I give this to my lot for the flea rememdy only.

I know this is an old thread but would like to add this as it may be beneficial to other dog owners.
I have a jack Russell cross chihuahua and he was diagnosed with campy know as camplyobacter, he was treat with 10 days of erythromycin 2.5ml three times per day, he was then tested two weeks later and it was clear however he has it back now about four weeks between. Being treated again as above.
The vet has said campy does not culture that well in the labs therefore we cannot donate the species type, and also this means the last test may have been contaminated. He has three dogs of his own and all have had campy back two or three times. Our dog also has itching which he has said may be linked with campy but not proven.
After researching many articles for hours on end I found the following, only 6 percent of humans have been found to contract this from dogs, so it seems its not a high risk, although please remember to always wash hands and keep hygiene the upmost importance. Dogs like many farm animals and cats carry campy in their bowels, but only some show symptoms.
Once dogs or individuals have had campy it seems then they become a carrier and pass campy in their stools, campy can live in the stool for at least three days. So again removing stools upmost importance.
Campy can also cause other complications which you can read about on other health websites like control diseases sites etc.
Now my puppy is now having this for second time and my other dog who is 7 has it this time too, although the 7 year old has had colitis for years now am starting to wonder if it was campy, as he was never tested for colitis, and after noting that adult dogs pass less campy than puppies. I came across this site and link and found the garlic post quite interesting, as I have used dorwests tree barks powder for my older dog and had great success with it.
So I researched garlic and campy, I found the same sort of information as the original poster on this thread, that people did not get food poisoning after eating garlic with their meals or before.
Then I found this article http://adc.bmj.com/content/81/3/278.1.extracthttp://adc.bmj.com/content/81/3/278.1.extract
proving garlic can help.
My dogs are going on dorwests garlic and fenugreek tablets as soon as mess are finished, have also showed this to our vet who agrees it's definately worth a try, and considering garlic has antibacterial and antibiotic properties I am hoping for good results.
Also please remember while your dog is on antibiotics give natural yoghurt with probiotics, to give good bacteria into system while bad bacteria is being eliminated.
I hope this will be beneficial to a lot of people out there.
