Re: 10 Month old Doberman mix Liver problems

Thank you for your reply. She is currently on 500 mg of Metronidazole
twice a day, as well as 500 mg Amoxicillin twice a day. She is a 50 lb
female mixed breed (part Doberman).

I am concerned about giving her the Metronidazole, though the vet has
prescribed these medications since the liver issue was found (as well
as previously). The vets change here every two weeks (as we are on an
island and they fly in from the States). She seems a competent vet from
Wisconsin and mentioned her mother's dog have liver problems but making
a full recovery (presumably with her help). Now I am torn. I have read
about this contraindiction as well, and have also found advice on
prescribing Metronidazole at much lower levels because of this- what
would amount to 160 mg. My gut says to reduce the amount. Any one else
with thoughts on this?
