Hello, this is Dr. Schmidt. 125 mg is higher than I usually dose metronidazole in a 10 lb cat, but still technically within the dosing range. I usually like to give 1/4th tablet of the 250 mg every 12 hours for pancreatitis in cats personally.

Cat Veterinarian: Dr. Michael Salkin. Vomiting and inappetence are likely at that dose but not more serious hepatotoxicity or neurotoxicity which is more likely with chronic dosing of metronidazole. I don't see the need to induce vomiting. You can feed and water as usual. Customer.
