Metronidazole, Flaygl

I should know this.. but with I've never had this issue with Louise, even right now. Ollie is having accident after accident, every time I turn around there is pee on the floor. Then I thought, I wonder if has to do with his meds. Has anyone had any adverse reactions, such as excessive urination, thirsty etc (we call it P/U, P/D in vet medicine). I looked it up and found in the human medicine stuff that is does sometimes cause excessive urination. Couldn't find anything in veterinary medicine about it.

I feel bad now.. I kept yelling at him, and flicking his nose for having accidents. Now I think it wasn't his fault! It was the metronidazole.

It may cause excessive urination, but does it cause incontinence? If not, he's still in training order, just with more pee outings.

Had to laugh at the thread title though, I thought it was a really big typo.

Good point Moo! And then.. it's just a matter of the timing, since Ollie is still in the process of learning how to tell mom he has to go potty rather than just taking a break from the rough housing with Weezy and peeing.

Exactly. So, work a few more breaks into his schedule and keep with the praise, he'll catch on with or without medication
