Metronidazole tablets are used for the treatment of protozoal and bacterial infections in dogs and cats. Used in horses to treat susceptible anaerobic infections. Commonly used for treating protozoal infection, giardia, in dogs and cats. Features immune-modulating activity and may be prescribed to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or colitis. Can be used with corticosteroids in the treatment of IBD or gum disease (gingivitis/stomatitis) in cats and dogs. Tablets are given orally and are generally well absorbed. They may be crushed and mixed with food for animals which are difficult to administer to orally.
