Avatar n tn I always ask myself when one of my pets has a serious disease that is complicated and would require large surgery and the continual medication that may have serious adverse side effects to that could make them worse or cause more problems, would I be doing this for the animal or for me?
Avatar m tn Are there any side effects of flagyl regarding heart.?? Skipped beats have made me worried so now i ask about every medicine side effect before taking it.

7052683 tn?1392938795 I would have a good discussion with your Vet to see if they feel this one is warranted and monitor the side effects if its continued. Do you give her a good probiotic???? thats something she really needs right now, somewhere I read it can be as beneficial as the flagyl...but don't take my word on that...again speak with your Vet asap http://www.wedgewoodpetrx.com/learning-center/professional-monographs/metronidazole-for-veterinary-use.
Avatar f tn Hi I hope max is feeling better today! I really believe that the vomiting is caused by the rabies vaccine. Those have bad side effects. They've always affected my cats with nausea and lethargy. Really, your vet should've known better to give ANY vaccine before surgery. That was a major assault to your kittens immune systems especially combined with the surgery!

1049259 tn?1295088478 Side effects can be all kinds of things and those which you have said above. If you get sick then you get sick, the medication should have already been absorbed. You will not overdose and symptoms start to clear in 1 day to possibly 2 weeks.
Avatar f tn I'm taking antibiotics, including Metronidazole 500mg for h.pylori. I was at my sister's wedding last night and took 2 glasses of bubbly to toast with the guests, and then switched to water all night (being under the impression that antibiotics just worsen the impact of the alcohol so this is why you shouldn't drink). About 6-7 hours later I started feeling really unwell (nausea, frequent washroom trips, flushed skin)..
Avatar n tn The 2 cats do fine on the Metronidazole, but the symptoms can recur in 2 months time which has me baffled. I have not tested for wet FIP, but that had crossed my mind. I don't believe it to be a toxin due to the fact that the first time in showed in the first kitten they were living in my barn and the second kitten showed it when living in my house. We did look at a blood smear from the mother cat that died to see if there could be babesia or any foreign signs - clear.
Avatar f tn I’ve been on my second day of Metronidazole and I drank a little bit of wine today. The concentration is 10 percent and I had it mixed with juice, should that be enough to cause any side effects?
Avatar n tn There are some excellent Traditional Chinese Medical Formulas to counter chemotherapy side effects in cats as follows: Kan Herbal Company Formula's: Resilience, and Cluster Dissolving. These work together and are available by prescription from your veterinarian. Kan Herbal has these formula's as liquid extracts which make them easier to give to the finicky cat. The dose is 3 drops of each twice daily. Dr. Xie's Jing Tang Herbal Company: Wei Qi Booster.
Avatar f tn s much less stressful on your system with fewer systemic side effects to use it that way. Taking it orally is much stronger, but has a lot of side effects, and this way it goes directly where your problem is. Make sure you use it as long as recommended, and don't be surprised if it comes back, as this treatment often doesn't get all the eggs. Good luck with it.
72351 tn?1281992542 I would like to know what would be the best drug to treat oral infections in possible fiv possitive cats. I have tried Metronidazole without success, mostly because it is virtually impossible to give them tablets due to their mouths being so sore. I tried crushing the tablets and diluting with water to give orally but that is an even worse option lol! I heard it comes in liquid forms but my vet has not been able to locate it to purchase for me.
Avatar m tn What are some of the more common side effects of metronidazole for dogs?
Avatar f tn m really cautious and worried about taking it because i searched and this pill has a lot of bad side effects, like making you really sick. It says that there is an alternative pill called azithromycin with less side effects. I talked to my OB about that and she said that she hasn't prescribed that to anyone who has trich. She said i can take it and come and get re tested but she thinks it wouldn't work. So she prescribed me metronidazole 1 dose of 2 grams. Sounds like a really big dose.
Avatar f tn He had dental surgery done and they gave him Convenia without explaining the risks and or side effects to me, nor giving me an alternative for him. Anyways, he is now having small episodes of his head twitching / shaking. I called my vet doctor, they said to keep an eye on him and to bring him in after 5 days, if he's still having these symptoms. But I am concerned now! He was perfectly healthy before his dental surgery.
Avatar f tn she is really struggling trying to get her system working properly. Metronidazale is a strong medication with many side effects including diarrhea, how long since she's been off this drug? I would think these side effects shall take a few days to work there way out of her system. Meanwhile I would go to the grocery store and buy some PURE pumpkin in a can. make very sure its the PURE pumpkin and NOT the pie filling.
Avatar f tn A few months back (March) I had intercourse with a "friend" and during the latter part of the month, I was experiencing some pain in my Vagina. It was itchy, sore and most horrible of all.. I had this awful green/yellow discharge. I had to change my underwear lots of times. When I found out that I had trich, I bought Metronidazole and took 2grams (1 dosage) of it. Metronidazole made me feel really sick! Anyway, after a week I realized that I still had trich.
Avatar f tn Many tests and procedures later and her vet diagnosed her with inflammatory bowel disease and put her on Metronidazole and prescribed cat foods with duck, rabbit and deer. Well, both of my cats reaction to the new food was to try to bury it. The Metronidazole made Pixel sick and she stopped eating and her weight fell to under six pounds and the vet then put her on steroids. During this time I bought brand after brand of cat food, hoping to get her to eat anything.
Avatar n tn my wife has been diagnosed with BV she was prescribed metronidazole i looked up the medication to see about side effects and it led me to trich which after reading about it my wife is having those symptoms sweeling itching burning it has become so bad that this morning the pain brought her to tears she has been taking the metronidazole for three days now and also pills for the pain but they do nothing and it seems to be getting worse also this morning she woke up with a rash around her collar b
