Hi everyone,
I am very new on this site, I was searching about Metronidazole and I found someone had posted about it on this site, what she described was very similar to what I am dealing with now, so I replied to her but since her post was 1.5years ago, I thought to ask in public page here also.
Here down below, I copy&paste what I wrote her as well as the link of her post.
Thank you for taking your time and giving me advices!
2 week old kittens – diarrhea & metronidazole
Some people on FB said this medication is extremely dangerous and I should stop using it and ask to switch to the other medication.. But if I can’t trust my vet, how am I going through this heartbreaking painful situation with 5 newborns? They’re 17days old today. Yes, I’ve seen mucusy stinky stool with couple times blood in it.
They all have a good appetite and one or two seem don not have diarrhea even because their butts are always clean.
I have searched, and some websites(eq: http://www.petmd.com/pet-medication/metronidazole ) say it should not give for lactating cat or kittens, and I am now very confusing.
I really appreciate if you can reply asap. 🙂
Thank you so much in advance!
