metronidazole for coccidia

We took him back to the vet and again he tested positive for coccidia. The vet put him on Metro for 10 days, and a diet of overcooked white rice and grilled chicken. Once he was on the rice diet the diarrhea cleared up. We weened him back on his regular kibble after he completed the meds and once again the diarrhea is back. Does anyone have experience in treating parasites in their dogs? Is it more likely the meds didn't clear the parasites completely?

My son has a 14 week old puppy that was treated for hookworms and possible Coccidia infection. Now he has started having the mucous, bloody stools again. Is Coccidia recurring? He seems to be healthy and there is no vomiting.

My 11 week old puppy (choc lab mix female) was diagnosed with coccidia. The vet gave her albon 2cc once a day. Her stool was hard with no blood for about 2 days, and now she is back to loose stools with a small amount of red blood. I have not seen mucous again. She has not finished the treatment for albon, has a healthy appetite, is not dehydrated and is active. I'm wondering if this is normal, or if I should take her back to the vet.

I was told that only Albon is approved for use in cats. Some rescue people dilute ponazuril and use it on cats. My vet will not. He says Albon. HOWEVER, a rescue friend of mine said that the coccidia is VERY infectious. She changes litter AND box every day, unfortunately 1-3 weeks, to keep them from getting re-infected. However, as a rescuer she does use ponazuril which works in 3 days! Such a shame it can't be diluted for regular use on cats.

I recently adopted a rescued 6 week old kitten. The kitten has had sever issues with going to the bathroom. I've brought her to 2 different vets and still the issue has not been resolved. I received the kitten as a bottle fed kitten and transitioned her to eating royal canin wet kitten food. At first the kitten was producing no stool at all the some must stools that wouldn't come all the way out of her behind and wound up becoming matted in her coat.

Thanks to a vets that donate there time one day a week to spay pets( PEOPLE FOR ANIMALS ) made all that possible for a fraction of what it would have cost.That said she has the worst gas i have ever smelled i mean bad ,does anyone no what can cause this i have changed food a few times still stinken.

I visited the doctor Monday with a vaginal infection and was given Metronidazole to start taking. I went back for results Wednesday and I was confirmed to have BV. My doctor then gave me Erythromycin to take (2, twice a day)... as well as the Metronidazole (3, three times a day). This seems like an awful lot of antibiotics. Why was I given Erythromycin, when from as far as I can tell, Metronidazole alone is the recommended treatment for BV? Hope someone can shed some light on this. Thanks!

My Pom is 3 months old and weighs 6 pounds. I am certain she has Coccidia. My Weimaraner's had it and her stool looks like theirs did. Of course, my Weims were much bigger a 3 mo than she is but I read the doses for Flagyl was 3mg-23mg/one pound of body weight. Can you tell me if this is right?

at first i didnt bother it but after my medication in soar throat and allergy(urcatitaria), my vagina started to became itchy and again, everyday i started having green discharged for `1 week. i went to a gynecologist and she prescribed me a metronidazole miconazole vaginal suppository and ive used that for `1 week.. now what my problem is, my white discharge had stop.. i am also currently taking up medice for my UTI and had experiexed sex but that was like long time ago...

I took metronidazole gel at about 20 weeks for bv and baby is fine now at about 28 weeks

Metronidazole can cause diarrhea as a side effect. But it may be also working on the infective cause of your dog's illness in the first place, so don't stop it without speaking to your vet. Meanwhile keep your dog hydrated. If you can find an unflavoured electrolyte drink like Pedialyte that would be great. Plain water would do for a short time but Pedialyte would be better.

My heart beat is erratic most of the time anyway but when I tried taking flagyl for campylobacter, it didn't affect my heart at all. I just got extremely sick and intestinal issues worsened. They had to switch me.

For the past ten days I have been taking Metronidazole (Two 250mg oral tablets, twice daily). I took my last pills lastnight around 10:30 pm. My question is, would it be okay for me to consume alcohol on Saturday night? I know my pharmacist told me to absolutely stay away from alcohol while I was taking the pills because I would vomit alot, and he said most people wait a couple of days after they've finished before they drink. Im just wondering if two days is enough time?

Has anyone ever used oral metronidazole for a vaginal bacterial infection? I'm on my 5th of 7th day and have developed a very thick clear to cloudy mucousy discharge. Is this normal. I know the gel form will pull everything out in a thick white chunky discharge but does the oral pill.

I had to take it last week for 5 days. Everything is great with baby. It does say that there is no harm to take it however I understand your concern. I'm 27w 5d I'm sure I would've been me hesitant at 6 weeks.

Hi guys,i seen some peoples on this forum that got rid off patm with Flagyl(Metronidazole), have you tried this? Would be nice to hear some oppinions about it from peoples who actually used it.

My dog was throwing up (looked like human food- I hve no idea where he got it from) and having diarrhea. The vet gave him amforol among penicillin and steroid injection. We took x-rays and the vet said he had imflammatory bowel disease. Since then he's stopped vomitting but still having diarrhea. Now he's on metronidazole. I've read around that metro will help only temporary and that it could cause liver damage. Has anyone had this problem and will metronidazole fix his problem?

Opus seems right , could be Coccidia. This is a tough nut to crack and needs constant meds for a while. Also the goopy eyes is probably related to the herpes viral upper respiratory infection. Herpes is pretty common in kittens and can spread so Please do not just accept the Vets general consensus that antibiotics are warranted without first knowing what the diagnosis is. It worries me that they do not see worms and you do???

He may just have intestinal parasites. Tapeworm, giardia, coccidia and others may be difficult to find on standard fecal tests. I would take your puppy to the vet ASAP and have him dewormed empirically. Please also have a fecal or stool check. Most worms and protozoa are NOT eliminated with only one or two de-wormings, and different parasites require different anti-parasite medications.
