Russell,
We tried Dr. Williams' friends compounding for flagyl and mine hated
it just as much as every other one. I believe I posted that after we
tried it. Someone on this List posted at the same time that they
were having flagyl compounded and her (?) ferrets loved it! I asked
for the formula but they never responded.

A couple of mine just happened to need flagyl shortly after Dr.
Williams' post came out. I asked Doc to try it. The compounding
pharmacist had a heck of a time getting the ingredients but finally
did (after about 3 days). It was NOT a success at my house.
