Hi Michelle,
I hope Lucy is feeling better today...Yes, I use metronidazole for Inky all the time or at least when he gets a loose stool...I don't have to give him the full dose either as it seems to work like imodium works for us..I usually only have to give him a few doses (last time only 2 or 3 pills). It has been sorta touchy with him since he has (needs) to be on a kidney diet now..and he is getting Hills k/d for that and grilled chicken with lots of chicken broth...He has so many things wrong that I have had to weigh the benefits and try to figure out what things will keep all his troubles in check and so far this diet is working...He won't eat his raw turkey lately so I just keep doing this..They wanted me to give him some rebound, but I hesitated then did it...and guess what loose stool and made him feel bad cause of it...then we ordered clinicare RF, that wasn't as bad, but I can't chance it cause of the IBD. Inky is now on 7.5mg pred,
tapazole, and pepcid. I have added pedialyte to his chicken broth and he seems to like it ok..
I would use it for Lucy if she gets a loose stool as it sure seems to help Inky.
Take care,
Kerry, Bandy and Inky
