These always stop when the metro is stopped. I&#39;m not aware of a&nbsp; delayed effect. </p><div style="clear:both;"></div>Re: help needed re seizures and metronidazolehttps://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/8125?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 15 Oct 2009 15:52:41 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:5334a7d9-0e42-43a5-84ce-cb12687302ecClive Ansell<p>I would say with the&nbsp;time delay, and without any evidence linking the two events,&nbsp;it is unlikely and it should be&nbsp;two separate claims. </p> <p>&nbsp;I suppose you could pass on the info to the insurance company for them to decide, as the insurance&nbsp;contract is usually between insurance company and client. </p><div style="clear:both;"></div>Re: help needed re seizures and metronidazolehttps://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/8124?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 15 Oct 2009 15:47:28 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:e1c99c3b-f5d6-4103-bc54-9c40ddecdcdcRosie_Skinner<p>This is what we think, but my colleague is doing their insurance claim for the GI upset and they want to claim for the seizure related work up too. We think this is a bit far fetched but would like to know if metronidazole can cause delayed seizures, it seems unlikley.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>Re: help needed re seizures and metronidazolehttps://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/8120?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 15 Oct 2009 15:22:46 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:874f5cc5-c8a4-44a6-973c-b452cf586fe6Clive Ansell<p>maybe a coincidence and the seizures are&nbsp;not related to any of the treatments?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
