My vet checked her for neurological problems and found none. He seems to think its a side effect from being on flagyl for a longer period than she has been on in past. He says in moderate or high doses this can occur. I'm freaking out thinking it might be permanent. He says he thinks she will be fine. I trust my vet, because she has been sick constantly since she was a puppy. I just though it would make me feel a lot more at peace with this if I knew if anyone has experienced this with their baby? Thanks

WOW that is a big dosage amount for one that small.

I know with mine it has always been 1/4 tab 2x day.
Also mine have never had any side effects from this at all.
