Metronidazole Toxicity: Prevention and Treatment
|
|
 Metronidazole has long been used in veterinary medicine as an antibiotic to treat many infectious diseases in dogs and cats. Neurotoxicity can occur from acute overdoses or even from "recommended" doses in animals on chronic therapy. Cats and small dogs may be more susceptible to acute overdoses. Common strengths for metronidazole are 500 mg and 250 mg tablets. Even a quarter of a 250 mg tablet given twice daily to a 10 pound dog has the potential to cause neurological signs.
