When we are sick, doctors often prescribe antibiotics to help us treat the disease. Antibiotics, called antibiotics, are drugs derived from microbial metabolism or chemical synthesis that can selectively inhibit bacterial growth or kill bacteria.
At very low concentrations, antibiotics can inhibit and kill other microorganisms. Some antibiotics can resist viruses, tumors, parasites and other harmful substances to the body.
In addition to us, our cats, dogs and other pets can also get sick. When they are sick, they also use some antibiotics. For example, cats and dogs use antibiotics after surgery to prevent wound infections. Because antibiotics have significant effects on many pathogenic microorganisms, antibiotics are also chosen by more and more shit shovelers.
Currently, there are four categories of antibiotic drugs commonly used in pets.
First category: Reproductive period bactericides: penicillins, cephalosporins (pioneeromycins), etc. Commonly used penicillin drugs include penicillin, amoxicillin, etc.; commonly used cephalosporin drugs include cefradine.
The second category: static bactericidal agents: such as aminoglycosides. Commonly used aminoglycoside drugs are: streptomycin sulfate, gentamicin and so on.
The third category: rapid antibacterial drugs: such as tetracyclines, macrolides, etc. Commonly used tetracycline drugs include tetracycline, etc.; commonly used macrolide drugs include spiramycin and so on.
The fourth category: Slow antibacterial agents: such as sulfonamides, Frizzle, etc.
Because pet antibiotics are very effective in treating some diseases, the number of shoveling officers using pet antibiotics has also increased, resulting in the abuse of antibiotics to treat various diseases in cats and dogs.
For example, there are many antibiotic drugs used in dogs in clinical practice, such as cephalexin, ampicillin, ceftriaxone, ceftriaxone, etc. Because these antibiotics target different parts, they need to be specifically based on the symptoms of the dog. Prescribe the right medicine. And when the dog has some diarrhea or vomiting, some shoveling officers start to buy medicine and feed the dog according to their dog's symptoms.
Although antibiotics have a great effect, the harm caused by the abuse of antibiotics to pets cannot be ignored.
Abuse of antibiotics can cause the following harm to pets.
1. Excessive use of antibiotics is the main reason for the body's drug resistance. As the effectiveness of antibiotics increases, so does the resistance of bacteria. The abuse of pet antibiotics has enabled the original bacteria to acquire a new resistance mechanism and turn them into multi-drug-resistant bacteria, which will increase the risk of people contracting multi-drug-resistant mycosis when they come into contact with pets.
2, it is easy to cause damage to the liver and kidney function of dogs. For example, although penicillin and cephalosporin antibiotics have little effect on the liver and kidney at present, they still have great side effects if the dosage is not appropriate.
When applying antibiotics to pets, you should strictly follow the instructions of your veterinarian. Different sizes and breeds of pets give different doses.
Also, pets cannot be fed antibiotics and other drugs used by humans at will. Because humans and cats and dogs have different tolerances, and individual differences are also very large, and the effects and consequences of the drugs can not be estimated. If fed to pets, it will cause great side effects to pets.
