Guest zoolaine Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I'm getting Sunny's next script for metronidazole at Costco. I think it is $13 for 100 of the 500mg tablets. I believe in Washington state you can use their pharmacy even if you are not a Costco member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmom Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 reluctant to feed her meat that might have developed bacteria sitting in a grocery store when she's already got problems. Which I can understand. He suggested maybe trying some of that once we had her more stabilized, back on Z/D and tylan powder, and at least the antibiotics she's already started on. He did explain that the corn etc. in the z/d is broken down so small it's not identifiable to the body as an allergen, so it's supposed to be okay. It's not a magic bullet; some dogs don't do well on it. FWIW, I agree with your vet. Z/D is cool stuff if the problem is allergy. Is she staying on the metronidazole, or is the tylan a replacement? Hugs and best luck for your girlie.

I expect she'll stay on the Tylan for awhile, unless we decide it's really not doing anything. As of this morning, she's not a happy camper. Her front feet are swollen, especially on the left, and she didn't do any of her happy morning-dance, or even go outside. She just changed beds, all droopy. There's blood in her stool, too, which is new. Waaah!! It's all so frustrating and scary for me, and obviously uncomfortable for her! Well, we'll hopefully know more when we get more lab results back this afternoon. Any ideas how excessive anal licking might fit into all this? *blech* Quote My Inspirations: Grey Pogo, borzoi Katie, Meep the cat, AND MY BELOVED DH!!!Missing Rowdy, Coco, Brilly, Happy and Wabi.
