Flagyl, and Metronidazole, can't remember which is the generic brand, both taste absolutely awful. By chance our vet was out of the normal Metronidazole once and offered the injectible form as a substitute to be taken orally. This has hardly any taste and can be mixed with almost anything and the ferrets take it without any problem. I have put it into canned AD along with the amoxy and the ferret eats it up without any problem. I never worry now when I have to use this with my ferrets!! However, some vets don't stock the injectible form, so that could be an issue. Good luck!! Trudy Jo Wallach [Posted in FML 5999]
