Colchicine is an oral alkaloid medication primarily known for treating gout in humans, but in veterinary medicine it’s occasionally used off-label for its anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory properties. Veterinarians may prescribe colchicine to dogs with certain liver diseases (like fibrosis) or other conditions involving excessive scar tissue formation, using it under careful monitoring to slow fibrotic processes.
Use as directed by your veterinarian.
