Product Info:

Metronidazole is an antibiotic and antiprotozoal medication used to treat various conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, nonspecific diarrheal disorders, infections caused by Giardia (a cause of diarrhea), and periodontal disease.

For:

Dogs and Cats

Benefits:

  • Treats a wide array of ailments
  • An antibiotic that effectively treats inflammatory bowel disease
  • Treats infections caused by Giardia (intestinal parasite)
  • Remedies certain diarrheal disorders
  • Also treats periodontal disease

How it works:

Metronidazole is especially effective against anaerobic infections - bacteria that can live without oxygen. It's able to penetrate bone, making it especially useful in oral/dental infections. In addition, it has anti-inflammatory properties in the large intestine and is an effective anti-diarrhea medication for certain diseases.

How to Use:

Pet Weight Dosage
Dogs All weights The usual dose is 5-20 mg/kg of your pet's body weight, by mouth, in divided doses - depending on condition of the individual pet being treated - please follow your veterinarian's instructions.
Cats All weights The usual dose is 3-20 mg/kg of your pet's body weight, by mouth, in divided doses - depending on condition of the individual pet being treated - please follow your veterinarian's instructions.

Cautions:

Antibiotic medications can cause diarrhea, which may be the sign of a new infection. If your pet has diarrhea that is watery or has blood in it, contact your veterinarian. Do not use any medication to stop the diarrhea unless instructed by your veterinarian.

Side Effects:

Seek emergency veterinary medical attention if your pet experiences any signs of an allergic reaction (hives; difficulty breathing; or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat). Call your veterinarian at once if any of the following serious side effects occur: seizures; fever; chills; sores inside the mouth or on the lips; or watery or bloody diarrhea. Keep giving metronidazole and talk to your veterinarian if your pet develops any of these less serious side effects: nausea; diarrhea; dizziness; loss of balance; dry mouth; cough; sneezing; runny nose; or swollen tongue. Talk to your veterinarian about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome to your pet.
