Comment from Metro Pet Vet

Compounded metronidazole is needed for office stock! Animals left untreated while waiting 1-2 weeks for a patient-specific prescription may experience unresolved diarrhea containing blood and mucous, vomiting, lethargy, anorexia, and even death. Giardia infections, which are commonly treated with Metronidazole, have zoonotic potential and must be treated immediately to prevent human infection.
