I am not sure if this is a followup question and you've already posted, but unfortunately the forum doesn't allow us to easily pull up your previous questions if you've asked them. What I am understanding from your post is that Oddy is 4 month old puppy who is sick. I am guessing she has diarrhea, as I suspect that "metrogyl dreep" is metronidazole which is often used to treat diarrhea. If she does have diarrhea one concerning possible cause is Parvovirus which can cause profound dehydration and sepsis and can be deadly. It sounds like you've already seen a vet with her; please followup with the vet and ask about giving fluids if that hasn't been done. I am sorry I don't have more to offer for you in terms of solutions or suggestions, but Its difficult to offer advice without more information to have a better idea of whats going on. You can consider requesting a consultation with an expert so we can exchange information back and forth. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach, we look forward to helping you.
