When they show signs of intestinal distress, sometimes the best answer is <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">metronidazole<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (brand name: Flagyl), a type of nitroimidazole <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">antibiotic<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technically, treating animals is an <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">off-label<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> use for this antibacterial and antimicrobial drug, but metronidazole works for anaerobic bacteria infections, inflammatory bowel disease, giardia, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">acute diarrhea<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and dental infections. The dosage is often 5\u201310 mg for every pound of body weight, although it can vary depending on the condition.

Per Dr. Attas, \u201cIn rare instances, high doses or prolonged use can lead to liver toxicity, even if initial doses are well-tolerated,\u201d and metronidazole can cause neurologic side effects as well, such as disorientation, inability to walk, and seizures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The exact duration depends on the condition being treated. However, dogs should only take the medication for longer than a week if the vet specifically directs it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"overdose-of-metronidazole-in-dogs\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overdose of metronidazole in dogs<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dogs may experience common <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">side effects of metronidazole<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, including vomiting, diarrhea, drooling, gagging, fatigue, loss of appetite, and urine discoloration. Usually, these adverse effects are relatively harmless. Yet it\u2019s also possible for a dog to overdose on metronidazole, no matter their size and condition, so owners have to be careful not to give them too much.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Metronidazole can pass through the blood-brain barrier, which means toxicity might manifest in terms of central nervous system symptoms. The signs of metronidazole toxicity include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disorientation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ataxia (difficulty balancing)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Head tilt<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rigidity and stiffness<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rapid eye movements<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vomiting<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Extreme fatigue<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seizures<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you notice any of these serious side effects, it\u2019s important to contact the vet immediately. Dogs can fully recover from metronidazole overdose, but only if they receive the proper medical attention and treatments.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"guidelines-for-administering-metronidazole-in-dogs\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guidelines for administering metronidazole in dogs<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to administer metronidazole is by mouth or with food. Technically, dogs can take it without food, but a full belly can reduce the chances of gastrointestinal side effects. Of course, that\u2019s easier said than done since dogs don\u2019t always like taking medications. Plus, metronidazole is bitter, says Dr. Attas, so dogs might not want to take it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFind a food that is irresistible to the dog and try molding it around the pill,\u201d she suggests. \u201cGive the dog a few small treats of this food without pills inside, so they are excited for the next treat. After eating the treat-wrapped pill, follow up with a few empty treats so they are not suspicious for the next treatment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If that doesn\u2019t work, she says you can approach the dog from behind, lift the head, open the dog\u2019s mouth, and put the pill as far back as possible, then quickly remove your hand since even friendly dogs may mistakenly bite in an attempt to get a hand out of their mouth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you miss a dose of metronidazole, give it as soon as possible. However, if the dog\u2019s next dose is only a few hours away, just wait. Never give a dog a double dose to make up for a missed one because it could cause an accidental overdose.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Metronidazole\u2019s half-life in dogs can be anywhere <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/B9781455707171000612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">between three and 13 hours<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, so it can stay in their system for up to 26 hours after treatment. Any side effects should subside within around a day after stopping treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><svg style=\"display:none\">\n  <g id=\"facebook\">\n    <rect width=\"32\" height=\"32\" rx=\"4\"
