I have the same problem. My 16 year old Snowshoe Siamese had pancreatitis 2-3 months ago. The vet prescribed metronidazole and it helped but every time I try to get her off of this, her stools get loose. She is still on it and now she has watery diarrhea for 2-3 weeks! They just prescribed another antibiotic as an “anti diarrhea “ med on top of this. After one week if no improvement. I’ve taken her off of it despite the vets encouragement to stay the course. How can I get her off if the metronidazole and also stop her existing bad diarrhea? Can prednisolone help to support my cat while I’m trying to reduce the antibiotic? I regret saying yes to this suggestion.
