No ot is not safe.Metronidazole is excreted in breast milk and it should not be used in lactating animals unless your veterinarian prescribes it. Panacur would be a better choice. You need to consult with your vet on proper treatment of giardiasis in your lactating cat, especially since it is a recurring problem.
