You should have the vet do a fecal analysis and a cultural smear of the mucosa, if the situation does not resolve. You may want to supplement the iguana's diet with a probiotic to replace any beneficial bacteria in the colon they may have been killed by the metronidazole. Also, make sure your husbandry: temps, water, food, humidity, etc.-- are up to par with what is prescibed for proper iguana care.
