Subject: Flagyl
My 7 year old female has been having consistent diarrhea for
2 days out of every week. This has been going on for a few
months now. It smells terrible and is accompanied by
flatulents. I took her to the vet and he didn't find anything
in a microscopic check of her feces. But, he said it could be
caused by Giardia which is sometimes very hard to diagnose. He
suggested I try Flagyl and gave me 4 pills (250 mg) each. I
am to spit each pill into 10 parts and give her two parts per
day, i.e.. 50 mg per day. She only weighs 1 1/2 pounds. 50
mg per day seems like a lot for an animal this small. Could
someone tell me if this sounds right.
Thanks,
Don Hunt
