Antibiotic resistance has been evidenced in humans and pets. Antibiotics is a type of anti-microbial substance against bacteria and antibiotic resistance is a situation where the germs and bacteria in body develop resistance towards antibiotics and continue to grow. This makes bacterial infection more difficult to treat. Antibiotic resistance is a common result of antibiotics being over-prescribed, abused and used in instances when it should not. Improper dosage is another reason causing resistance.
Vets avoid this by prescribing the appropriate dosage and recommend the right treatment length. It is recommended to adhere strictly to the prescribed course of medication, finishing the full course, even if your pets appear to be feeling better.
Consuming antibiotics may cause pets to feel lethargy. They might experience a temporary loss in appetite. Despite this, it is crucial that your pet continues eating for energy needed to combat the infection and repair damaged cells. If they refuse food, do not force feed; wait a few hours before offering the food again, or serve in smaller portions.
Antibiotics may cause vomitting and diarrhea, which happens up to 1-2 days after starting a new course of antibiotics. This may happen if the antibiotics does not sit well with your pet or the daily dosage is not suitable. Feeding food with antibiotics helps soften the harshness of antibiotics on your pet's gastrointestinal system.
Allergic reaction may occur, in the form of skin irritations, respiratory difficulties, and other types of digestive issues. Signs of allergy may range from mild to severe, and may occur immediately after starting a new course of antibiotics or a few days later. It is best to seek veterinarian's support immediately.
