Rethinking the role of metronidazole in veterinary medicine!


Recommended Posts

Interesting. This drug was very helpful for Fletcher’s IBS related diarrhea, but I have noticed in other dogs, it affects their appetite, and my vet has become more cautious in proscribing it. I had it given to me once and had to stop, caused extreme dizziness.

I do know a good number of years ago there was a revision/reduction on dosage. 

I had asked my vet about flagyl vs tylan power. At the time it was!a preference of the vet. 

Reading this!reconfirm why we need to see our vets and NOT SELF MEDICATE.

Interesting. My dog has only ever 'got completely better' following a course of Met. after Pred. has been used to stimulate appetite. Also, Pred. alone can stop a non-eating crisis from progressing to weight loss.
