My dog has been vomiting and she lost appetite for a day now. She's very dull

My dog was on flagyl for diarrhea for 5 days and immediately when it was stopped the diarrhea came back. Does she need a longer course? Or a different treatment? The diarrhea is green and mucous and almost liquid

My dog has been on metronidazole since Wednesday definitely doing much better. She had no worms or colitis. But she's still having small loose stools. Today would be day 4. Is this normal with this medication? I also started flora flora yesterday.

she just started this yesterday taking 1/2 pill twice a day for diarrhea. Fluffy is 10 pds also she was on flaygl on July 10th then she was taking only 1/4 pill 2 times per day

My 1 yr old 9 lb toy poodle was acting skittish and very lethargic/depressed. Some diarrhea and vomiting. Vet said he found bacteria in her feces so he prescribed metronidazole. After reading all these comments I'm terrified. She's had 2 x 50 mg doses so far over 12 hrs and she's started sneezing and wheezing. Her lethargy is getting worse. My vet keeps shrugging my concerns off, what should I do?

Please stay away from this medication for your dog. My dog has mucus in her poop over a month ago. It wasn’t diarrhea at that time, just a casing of mucus. I took her to the vet the next day for routine shots and a check up. I mentioned that she had a weird poop. I was told it was Colitis and was given Metrondiazle for 4 days 500mg. Her poop didn’t get better, it progressed over those 4 days to mucus and yellow diarrhea. On the 4th day her hair fell out on her back end, And she was sneezing a lot- like 8-10 times in a few minutes. She had a runny nose and runny eyes.so we rushed her back to the vet. I was told it was “ Unlikely “ the medication caused this and to keep an eye on it to see if it spreads to other parts of her body. It did. Her poop became better off the drug, still a weird color, but she stopped eating. I switched her dog food, and started adding probiotics. She started to have a small amount blood and soft stool, not fully diarrhea I noticed she stopped being as active as she was prior. We went to the vet again. This time, they did xrays, full bloodwork, a skin scraping etc. I was given Metrondiazle again for 10 days this time, 500mg. The same night I ended up rushing her to the ER vet. Her poop became fully bloody, and dark. They did a full GI profile and found nothing abnormal. I was given a prescription food for food intolerance ( Prescription diet Z/d. )and told to cut the metronidazole in half and give her half in the AM and half at night. She was eating that food fine, it seemed to be helping. It took a few days before she had 4 days of normal stool. I was called about her blood work by my normal vet, and they said everything was normal. Thyroid, liver etc. xrays were normal too. Then my dog stopped eating the prescription food, and became increasingly thirsty, she was drinking more, and urinating more. I rushed her to my normal vet again. The vet didn’t even touch her. He told me “ she’s doing it for attention and acting out because she doesn’t like the bland food” he also said we didn’t need to do bloodwork because she just had bloodwork done 10 days ago and it was normal so there’s no reason to believe it was anything serious. He told me to withhold her water and only give her 8 cups a day. My dog was falling asleep in her empty water bowl, and just wanted to drink constantly. She was having tremors through her body. I rushed Her to the ER vet, xrays were done again and showed an enlarged spleen. She was rushed into an ultrasound where all her organs looked normal, just enlarged spleen. They did blood work, urinalysis and it came back that she was in liver failure. She was admitted to the ER for 5 days. I was able to take her home, her eyes were yellow, she was sleeping all the time. She was put on densyol, amoxicillin, vitamin K1, vitamin E, ondestron, omzepropal, liver diet and guess what else? Metronidazole. I didnt want to give it to her, and I shouldve put my foot down more. My dog has lost all control of her bowls and urine. She urinates and defecates while sleeping. Can’t go normally anymore. I called the ER vet and stated that I believe this drug caused the Hepotoxicity in my dog, and is still making her sick. They told me it’s really rare and highly unlikely and if I wanted to stop the metronidazole I would have to find another vet and they could no longer help me. It was rude, and made me feel like I was crazy. This drug is dangerous. Vets need to stop stating fatal adverse reactions are rare. They do happen, and they happen often. This drug did this to my dog. All it took was 10 days, a simple case of diarrhea turned into a critical case and me possibly loosing my best friend. I stopped giving her this drug and in a day she has regained some control of her bowels and urine. She is drinking less and the yellowing of her eyes has gotten better. I have hope that she can be saved, and I dont want to imagine my life without her. I still have her on the other liver medications, but I refused to give this drug to her. Probiotics can help with simple diarrhea, and so can Firm Up for dogs. Please try those first before you give this drug to your dog. I hope everyone who lost their babies to this is okay, and has found peace with it.

Hi, My dog was recently prescribed this as she has severe liver problems. She is also on Ursodiol, Denamarin, and Lactualose. She had actually been showing no symptoms of anything but I knew she had liver damage and so she has been on the Denamarin and Ursolidol for a long time. I'm very concerned as it's been over a week and she seemed fine until yesterday morning when she started sneezing. She goes into occasional sneezing fits and I noticed a red rash on her belly (they had shaved it for the ultrasound she had so it's clear to see red splotches. Yesterday, she did not want to walk (and she LOVES walks) and just sat down in the driveway. today she walked fine but kept sneezing. I checked the pollen in the air and it's mid-range. We use unscented detergents and she's never reacted to any cleaning products we use and after researching her new meds I found this. Could it be a toxic reaction? She is eating fine, seems her usual happy self except for the sneezing, squinty eyes, and rash. I think I will stop giving this to her for now until I can do more research. Is stopping it abruptly a bad idea too though?

My beloved toy poodle Fifi passed away unexpectedly after her dose of Metronidazole. Fifi had diarrhea and I took her to the Vet. She had lots of test and all was fine including her heart murmur. Except for the diarrhea she was doing great and had a follow up appointment with the vet as well as an appointment to be groomed. Fifi was my life being a widow and living alone. Fifi was a senior dog but ran around the house and yard like a puppy. The last thing I expected five hours after her vet appointment and taking Metronidazole she would pass away in my arms. I regret I did not do my "homework" about Metrondazole or I would never have given it to her. My heart broke as I read all the comments in this site. There is no time limit for grief and I miss my adorable Fifi so much.

I shared my experience and saw it four minutes ago and now deleted.....interesting! Wonder why? It was so hard for me to express my feelings and now deleted! Maybe I will get an explanation why my story of using Metronidazole has been deleted. When my tears stop I will submit it again and hopefully will not be deleted.
