Risks:

  • Neurological Effects

Metronidazole is an antibiotic and antiprotozoal medication commonly used to treat diarrhea and other gastrointestinal infections in dogs. While generally safe and effective when used appropriately, high doses or long-term use can cause neurological side effects like seizures and loss of coordination. This medication should only be given under veterinary guidance, at the prescribed dose and duration. It can interact with several other drugs, so make sure your vet is aware of all medications your dog is taking.

Please Note: I'm not a veterinarian or dietician.

I've strived to find accurate information and tried to remove any ambiguities. I've re-checked these items multiple times for accuracy, but it's always possible that something slipped through unnoticed. If anything's incorrect, please let me know so I can fix it.

When in doubt, ask your veterinarian.

It's important to note that while some items may not be directly toxic, quantity plays a major role. Many human foods are high in salt, sugar, and fat, for example, which can be unhealthy for dogs if consumed regularly or in large amounts.

Remember, even "safe" things can be dangerous in high enough quantities.
