Administering Flagyl to Your Dog: Oral and Injectable Methods

Always follow your veterinarian’s instructions precisely. Dosage depends on your dog’s weight and the specific condition being treated. Never administer medication without veterinary guidance.

Oral Administration: For oral administration, you’ll typically use a liquid suspension or tablet. Mix the liquid form with a small amount of palatable food to encourage your dog to consume it. If using tablets, ensure your dog swallows the entire tablet. Monitor your dog for any adverse reactions, such as vomiting or diarrhea.

Injectable Administration: Injectable Flagyl is administered by a veterinarian. This route is often chosen for severe infections requiring faster absorption or when oral administration is impractical. Your vet will determine the injection site and appropriate technique. Expect post-injection monitoring by your vet.

Safety Note: Store Flagyl according to the label instructions. Keep it out of your dog’s reach and away from children.

Important Considerations: Observe your dog for any signs of allergic reaction or side effects. Immediately contact your veterinarian if you observe any unusual symptoms.
