Howdy. The compounding pharmacy our vet's office uses uses metronidazole (flagyl) benzoate, which is a less bitter "diluted" version of flagyl, and which goes down a lot easier than regular flagyl; they just adjust the dosage to meet the needs based on the initial flagyl dosage. Also, they have something relatively new now called bitter-something (I'll post the actual name when I doublecheck on Monday) that does something to the granules of meds like prednisone and makes that less bitter, too. We have a client whose ferret will be trying this, and I'll let you know how her ferret likes it! Dooks, April AC [Posted in FML issue 4130]
