My dog pooped out round worms today morning and feel asleep aftr that. Doctor prescribed him metronidazolde benzoate oral suspension ip. He also has hicups. Is their something wrong
Hello. No, this sounds pretty normal for a puppy ( many will experience bouts of hiccups ). However, metronidazole is an antibiotic & will do nothing for the roundworms. Ask your vet about this & make sure Hachiko receives something like pyrantel pamoate to remove all the roundworms from her GI tract. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Good evening, we are on the tail end of a vomiting/loss of appetite incident with our cat. Tests inconclusive, blood good. Vet thought possible IBD. We explored food allergy and made some changes. He is improving/becoming more like himself. He did de
Without seeing Z in person, I can't say what is the best course of treatment for him. I'd trust your vet's decision, but if you do have questions, you can always take him into another vet for a second opinion.

Hello, my dog was not feeling good about 3 days ago. Had to do with his old freeze dried/raw food I believe. Doctor prescribed him metronidazole. He looks fine now. And they tested his stool for a couple of things and all was negative. Everytim
It would not be a good idea to stop metronidazole now and the symptoms may come back. Please, complete 5 days of treatment and then double-check with your vet that it is ok to stop the medication. The dose of metronidazole Leo was prescribed is ok (100mg every 12hrs).

Hi, I'm a former vet tech.My Dog has contracted giardia twice this year. Is Metronidazole less than 6 months old safe to give? What probiotic would you recommend? Thank you so much for your time and effort. Respectfully, Deirdre
Yes, Metronidazole is safe to give pets that are less than 6 months old. In refractory cases, it is often recommended to also treat with a dewormer (i.e. Fenbendazole). I really like Foriflora probiotic, here is a link --> https://www.chewy.com/purina-pro-plan-veterinary-diets/dp/50029 In cases where a pet is positive for Giardia but not symptomatic, we may not treat, so its best to ask your veterinarian for advice before moving forward. Also if your pet is constantly getting Giardia, then I would highly consider doing a bloodwork check to ensure there is no immune system issue that is making your pet more prone to infections. I wish you all the best in managing your pet Jackson's Giardia. Take care!

My Jack Russell has been diagnosed with IBD. He's 21 lbs. My vet has him on Metronidazole 2 ml (liquid form) twice daily and says he needs to be on this for the rest of his life. First, would this dosage be considered low? And secondly, I'm concerned
It is a low dose based on Coby's weight. There can be long term side effects from using it. Do not lower the dose or give it every other day. It has to be given as prescribed in order to work. Best of luck.
