Subject: novaonidazole for straining?

Is this an appropriate medicine for my ferret's straining to go to
the bathroom problem? My vet has ordered this and before I spend
anymore money I want to be sure that this is a known medicine in
treating her. I have searched for the name but have no luck. She has
pain and discomfort when trying to go. it sounded to me like she
might have proliferative colitis, since she had a bout similar but
not so severe last year. The vet has her on baytril at present but it
is not helping her. The vet does not think it is a blockage as Rose
is not vomiting. Plus she can go to the bathroom (her stools are
quite dark in colour and mucous like) but she tries far more than she
actually goes...any help would be greatly appriciated.

thank-you
becky (and rose)

Ps all blood work and urine work came back normal
