Reuben isnt very well

[Sophiedoodle]

Oops we use metronidazole at work sometimes.... no gloves are worn

 

[kateincornwall]

Reubs tablets are Metrobactin , which is, I think , the same or very similar to Metronidazole x

 

[Lab_adore]

Don't know about gloves. But make sure your pups keep of the booze when on Metronidazole

This is the box label , just so as you dont think my mind is wandering !

 

[Selina27]

I've never had to give metrobactin, only metronidazole

 

[kateincornwall]

I would still like to know who discovered they tasted bitter

Ah yes, back to your original point!! Well perhaps there is a human metrobactin

And if so , would one have to use gloves before putting it in the mouth I think I must be delirious with tiredness

 

[Selina27]

You could always ask the vets if they personally had tried them?

 

[kateincornwall]

I might just do that x

 

[HAH]

Fingers crossed for Reubs @kateincornwall , it sounds like you’re the best nurse he could possibly have xx

 

[kateincornwall]

Aww thank you Harriet , I try my best, for both of them xxx

errr...I always taste the tablets before I give them to a dog. Just a sneaky lick.

But would you lick one if the box said Gloves must be Worn to handle these tablets ?

I have often wondered who thought cow's milk might be tasty and then tried it ( the mind boggles). Also who first thought of using human urine on wounds to disinfect them. Marie Curie and bread mould comes to mind.
Thanks to some very strange people having strange ideas we now have a few good ideas.

Metronidazole is a confirmed carcinogen in laboratory animals and has possible carcinogenic effects in humans. However, there is inadequate evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of metronidazole. Impervious gloves should be worn during administration of the product to avoid skin contact with the product.27 Nov 2015

Well now I'm a little freaked out. We're currently using (prescribed by the dr) metronidazole gel on Nathan's face for the treatment of perioral dermatitis.
