Antibiotics, like amoxicillin, have been prescribed for years to help dogs and cats combat infection. Unfortunately, the “occasional” antibiotic usage has become commonplace, and as a result, our pets have to contend with super-bugs, like MRSA.
However, as much as we encourage a natural approach when possible, some infections still require antibiotic treatment. Wisconsin Pet Care answers some of your questions about antibiotics, such as:
How do antibiotics work?
*Antibiotics are designed to kill bacteria, but leave the body’s cells unharmed.
What are some side effects of antibiotic therapy?
*Nausea
*Diarrhea
*Yeast Infections
*Lowered Immunity
How can you lower the impact of antibiotic-caused side effects on your pet?
*Probiotics
*Nutrition and Supplements
