What lame info are you referring to? There is only one answer to your question. If you know the strength of the tablets, and the weight of your animal, you should be able to easily figure out the dosage. If a tablet is 100mg of Metronidazole and your snake weighs 2.2 lbs (1 Kilo), then you would need 1/2 of a tablet per dose for a dosage of 50 mg/kg. Yes, you can crush the tablets, mix them with water and administer PO.



You didn't mention why you need to treat with Metronidazole...do you know what you are trying to treat for? Metronidazole can be a dangerous drug if improperly used or dosed.
