So even though vets use it, I switch to what eradicates this bacteria in
people, biaxin (a methylated erythromycin) and amoxicillen. It comes in pediatric
suspensions, and .3cc of each given twice a day is the appropriate dose.
Actually, many of us vets have been using biaxin rather than metronidazole,
in combination with carafate, in ulcer treatments for years. I will caution
you to not put a dose on the internet - first of all, as you admit, you are not
a vet. Secondly, dosing in animals (as it should be in humans, IMO!) is done
by body weight, and the dose that is appropriate for a one and a half pound
ferret will not be the dose that is appropriate for a four or five pound ferret.
