Kerry, my vet talked to a GI specialist and told me that for IBD she uses a
smaller dose of metronidazole, long-term. The dose is 5 mg/pound of body
weight. Since Lucy is 8 pounds, it is 40 mg twice a day. This is too small
and odd an amount to be able to break off the pills, so we got it compounded at
a compounded pharmacy into little capsules. I started her on it
yesterday. The idea is to give this twice a day for a month and then once
a day for a month. Maybe this would help Inky with his IBD while dealing with
hid kidneys?
