Answer
Hello Sam,

It generally won't take more than a couple days to make him ill if it's from the medication. The antibiotics cause severe diarrhea (or an allergic reaction) very shortly after they start them. It won't take months, no. It will be a matter of days or hours. It typically won't even take a week for them to get very sick from them. I'm sorry you had to lose Starsky, but you did a good job caring for him in his life for him to have lived so long. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas.
