Avatar m tn What are some of the more common side effects of metronidazole for dogs?
7219853 tn?1389289076 Looks like you have consulted the Vet to rule out out sod obvious issues. Way food are you feeding and how fatten? Are you giving any tray rests or supplements? My kids dogs, and a few others. Haven own had sillier issues. I suggested they're the dogs on Pro Plan Salmon for sensitive stomachs. Hey switch probably over two years ago now and the dogs have much improved and are healthy.
Avatar m tn ) Anyway, one of my dogs had a few episodes of intermittent vomiting and diarrhea for the past 5 days - her stool was jelly like and one had traces of blood, and her vomit is usually gloopy and yellowish and at one time, had a tinge of pink / red specks in it, and recently it appeared foamy.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar m tn I have a 2 year old teacup Schnauzer & recently changed her diet to a raw diet. We used Stella & Chewy's raw food. The first week she did great, the second week she began vomiting, sometimes food, other times white foamy stuff. She laid around for about 2 or 3 days, but still had an appetite, loved her new food & drank the normal amount.
Avatar f tn Im pretty darn sure I will be finding a new clinic for my other 2 dogs.
Avatar n tn He also started the temp spike, lethargy, off food and bloody diarrhea - but when put on Metronidazole would clear up for about a month or so. I brought the 2 kittens in the house after the mom died. We then found a 4 week old kitten about 4 months later. He was kept in the barn. Doing great. But we decided to keep him and brought him into the house. Had him wormed with drontal etc. Well this new kitten started showing the bloody diarrhea, temp & lethargy.
Avatar m tn t eat. Doctor gave me Metronidazole 2 years ago for a tummy bout. Does anyone know if there are any contraindications between those 2 meds?
Avatar n tn Hello Athena, I would advise you to take the kitten to a vet. If she's been having diarrhea for three days so will be dehydrated and may need to be on an IV. I'm not sure, but the vet will be able to advise you. You may have given her too much metronidazole . 500 mg per day sounds like a lot for a kitten's tiny body. This is not a professional medical opinion, but I strongly urge you to go and seek a professional vet to help the kitten. Otherwise she may not survive.
Avatar m tn She had parasites a few weeks ago. Was given medication to get rid of them. Also metronidazole for the diarrhea. It hasn't helped. She then started having seizures a week ago. Now on phenobarbital. Controlling the seizures. Still has Diarrhea. Vet prescribed metronidazole again. She is now shaking and not feeling well and still has diarrhea. She only weighs 2 lbs or so. She doesn't like Pumpkin. Tried that for the diarrhea. Taking her off the Metronidazole.
Avatar f tn This being said, after much research this is what I was thinking of going, but am nervous as none of these remedies are FDA approved for dogs (i of course will check with his vet but i find that many times hearing other pet owner’s experience is much more beneficial as every dog is different). PLAN OF ACTION: -take him off the vet food.
7205189 tn?1447794738 This caused diarrhea and vomiting which the vet then prescribed metronidazole for. Immediately she began pooping twice a day with meals and it was normal. When the medication ended she went a few days normal, then slowly started increasing frequency of pooping and then started having diarrhea again. The vet immediately prescribed the Metronidazole again, this time just half a pill for a dose. She went back to normal immediately.
Avatar n tn Homemade pet anti-cancer diets consisting of tasty, high quality, bio-available protein and fat, along with minimal levels of carbohydrates are very helpful for pet cancer dietary therapy. This is true for dogs and cats affected with cancer.
Avatar f tn Now she is refusing all food, puppy, chicken, rice, carrots, bread, pasta, even a dental bone- she has had diarrhea for a little over 3 weeks now, the vomiting stopped 2 days ago with these anti-vomiting meds she was given.
Avatar f tn I have taken the metronidazole for 2weeks and I notice it works but after 3 to 4 days I stop taking it since I notice it was cleared ..now It came back again and I now starting to take again a metronidazole.. please help what must I do?
Avatar n tn Both of my dogs have diarrea that smells like skunk, its very watery and its not getting better. What should I do?
Avatar m tn Your dogs may be passing diseases or parasites back and forth to each other. Giardia is very ubiquitous in the environment and difficult to get rid of. You may need a really good yard and house clean up with diluted bleach, and give a prolonged course of Panacur, or Metronidazole to all your dogs' simultaneously. I would continue the Metoclopramide while Ricky is on the Panacur or Metronidazole. Your dogs' may also benefit from 5mg. of pepcid each morning.
Avatar f tn I asked about the pumpkin to my vet she said it was more for constipation but I had read it was good for diarrhea as well ? Zeus has always eaten chicken.
Avatar n tn After my hospital stay, I was sent home with Clindamycin and Ampicillin capsules to take for 5 days. I had diarrhea for 4 days straight and called the Dr. She told me to stop taking the medicines immediately. About 4 days later, I was stricken with severe abdominal cramping, nausea and watery diarrhea. I was rushed to the emergency room and had CT scans, abdominal XRays, and stool samples taken. I was diagnosed with C. diff.
Avatar f tn My Sheltie has had 3 separate seizures, all after taking 1-2 doses of Previcox. Previcox was prescribed in Nov. 2011 at his senior exam to use as needed for arthritis in his hind hips. He is 13 yrs old and has had his hind legs slip out a number of times. I used the Previcox for the 1st time in Feb. He had diarrhea prior to this for a few days & a call to the vet had him on a bland rice & chicken diet. He seemed stiff walking so I gave him the 1/2 tablet dose of Previcox. Within 12 hrs.
Avatar f tn This Golden will be 2 in July. As a puppy, he was on Eagle Pack Chicken & Rice for puppies and adults. The rep suggested I try him on the Eagle Pack Anchovy, Sardine & Salmon, which didn't really make a difference. A littermate sister was having the same problems and put her on Pro Plan Salmon and she is fine. I tried that for 1 bag and no difference. His stool was soft, not diarrhea. He's been dewormed periodically, was just neutered a month ago.
Avatar f tn Then the doctor tested me swab a cotton buds on my penis. It appears i was negative on the result, then the doctors tell me that i have to continue for medicine to be sure because i have a discharged on my penis. The doctor gave me a shot on my butt through (syringe) and gave me a two oral meds docycycline and metronidazole. After a day taking the meds i have a symptoms of diarrhea it was dark green with some yellow in color. Should i be worry of these symptoms?
Avatar n tn He isnt typical of a dachshound he is very timid and withdrawn, I just want to make him comfortable for a while longer, and am desperate to relieve the diarrhea and maintain his weight, I will be taking him to the vet on tue night and I have a list of questions for him, but any suggestion reg the diarrhea and the weight issue would be appreciated, thanks so much for the support, this forum has been a big help,
Avatar f tn ) ) but the label advises dose for smaller animals, about a teaspoon full for a 20 pound dog.
Avatar m tn Metronidazole is usually used to treat the disorder and for diarrhea electrolyte solution may be given. Consult a doctor for more queries and assistance. Keep me posted. Best luck and regards!
