Advice please-Best way to give Flagyl suspension

L

Loftyfiva

Hi All,

Fiva is due to start Flagyl twice a day from tomorrow and I was just wondering what is the best way to give this? I put his metacam and Fibreplex on softened pellets so do you think that will work with Flagyl or is he not likely to take it willingly?

Any advice gratefully received x

I syringe it straight into their mouth - as I do with most oral medicines. I don't remember any particular issues with Flagyl. You do need to make sure that they actually get the full dose, however you do it.
 
Mine willingly take the syringe when offered- I had to force it for a few days and then they realised they like it (I have several on it). It's the easiest med to give, I find.
 
Thanks both for your replies. Syringe delivered it is then. I just hope he's a little more co-operative than of late x
