Ronidazole is an antiprotozoal agent used in veterinary medicine for the treatment of histomoniasis and swine dysentery[1][2] as well as Trichomonas gallinae, hexamitosis, Giardia, and Cochlosoma in all aviary birds and pigeons.[3] It may also have use for the treatment of Tritrichomonas foetus infection in cats[4][5][6] and for the treatment of Clostridioides difficile infection in humans.[7]
