Minor side effects include nausea, headaches, loss of appetite, a metallic taste, and rarely a rash. "Serious side effects of metronidazole are rare. Serious side effects include seizures and damage of nerves resulting in numbness and tingling of extremities (peripheral neuropathy). Metronidazole should be stopped if these symptoms appear."
Yes she was on Metronidazole, the vet said she was on safe dosages and it shouldn't have had an effect on her. I will bring this up with her again.
