Strange how this works, I was just coming to ask about the use of metronidazole in FeLV+ cats. It has been given to me for possible liver issues (in concert with amoxicillin) so I looked it up.

From; http://www.vetfolio.com/internal-medicine/feline-cholangiohepatitis

comes "Metronidazole should be considered because of its immunomodulatory properties."

which gives me pause with a cat who already has a compromised immune system.

Thoughts?

My 1 yr old ( Yogi) whose life has been one problem after another is now showing bloody mucus in his stool which is now becoming soft as well.... Had him to the Vet and he just completed a 10 day round of Flagyl...
I'm already spending a fair amount with the Prednisolone Acetate he needs to keep his Uveitis at bay and 300 bucks later ( with an Xray) it does not look at though he has any blockages... Anyone have any experience with this ?? Any relatively benign possible reasons ( really hoping it is not severe autoimmune bowel disorder).... This poor little guy has a lot going on for a young cat.... also losing weight.... BUT...acting energetic, appetite is good and he's even playing a bit despite being half blind..

thanks,
Bob in Warwick NY
