## Clinical notes — Metronidazole for dogs

Metronidazole is one of the most-prescribed canine GI drugs — used for giardia, anaerobic infections, and inflammatory bowel disease (though chronic IBD use is now questioned). Dose: 10–25 mg/kg PO every 12h.

### ⚠️ CAUTION

Long-term high-dose use can cause neurotoxicity (ataxia, nystagmus). Recent evidence questions routine IBD use — discuss with vet.
