About Metronidazole
Metronidazole is an antimicrobial antibiotic used for the effective treatment of many different diseases and conditions in dogs, cats, and horses. This medication is geared toward animals who are suffering from dangerous infections such as tetanus and liver disease, as well as from causes of inflammatory bowel diseases like Giardia, Entamoeba, Balantidium, and Trichomonas. It also fights oral infections like periodontal disease. Metronidazole can even be applied externally to fight skin conditions such as acne (particularly in cats).

Metronidazole may also be used with other types of antibiotics (e.g., penicillin, some cephalosporins, and amino-glycosides) to fight off various anaerobic bacteria and protozoal infections, as well as colitis brought on by the prior use of other antibiotic medications.

Rated 5 out of 5 Great for small dogs My grandmother gave my toy poodle human food and she was lethargic and had terrible diarrhea for days. I took her to the vet and they gave her this, it made my dog feel so much better. I recommend it to all who can not handle seeing their sick dog in pain. January 11, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 Metronidazole I have used metronidazole to deal with Giardia infections previously. This product is easily administered and a few days of treatment will take care of the infection. *This is a prescription item March 23, 2005
