Is it appropriate to the treatment of dogs with antibiotics? Quite if there are direct readings for this. There are diseases when without antibacterial drugs can not do in any way, the main thing is to know which drugs can be given in what form and in which dosage.
Do not try to remember all this. Enough to have a permanent trendy vet for his pet that will help pick up required medicine, Calculate the dosage and will give recommendations on methods of reception.
Classification of antibacterial agents and their form of release
To properly decide on the name of the desired drug, the most important thing is to know the active substance, and not remember the commercial names of the drugs.
Absolutely all antibiotics are divided into the following groups:
Depending on the action:
- bactericidal (kill bacteria);
- bacteriostatic (they are not directly killed, but breeding their reproduction and development).
According to the exposure spectrum:
- narrowly specific (operate on a certain group of microorganisms);
- wide spectrum of action.
By the method of dacha:
- in the form of injections (ready-made solutions or powders for breeding);
- through the mouth or oral forms (tablets, powders, suspensions, etc.);
- contact (local) action (gels / ointments / powder / cream /, eye / ear drops, etc.).
According to the current component:
- macrolides;
- penicillins;
- carbapenes;
- levomycetins;
- cephalosporins;
- polymixins;
- lincoosamide;
- aminoglycosides;
- glycopeptides;
- tetracyclines;
- fluoroquinolones;
- sulfonamides;
- nitrofurans.
According to "Naturalness":
- true (or natural) - substances produced by one bacteria to destroy others;
- synthetic - antimicrobial means, Natural analogues, created in laboratories.
It should be noted that the strength of the action of antibiotics for dogs does not depend on the form of their release. The essence is only in the convenience of receiving medication - someone is convenient for 5 days their prick dog, someone better than 2 weeks in pills. However, there are medications that are introduced strictly injectable or only inside - must be read before applying the instruction.
When antibiotics are prescribed
It should be immediately noted that antimicrobial drugs do not act at all on viral cells. Direct reading for their reception - pure bacterial infections and some fungal diseases.
When you should give a dog an antibiotic:
- cold with the risk of bacterial complications of the upper or lower respiratory tract (rhinitis / sinusitis, bronchitis, angina, lung inflammation);
- with purulent deep wounds, abscesses;
- bacterial infections gOOD SYSTEM (cystitis, urethritis, metrics) and when inflammation in the kidneys (pyelonephritis, pyelitis);
- intestinal and gastric infections (Helicobacter eradication);
- staphylococcal and streptococcal infections;
- purulent otitis or conjunctivitis;
- leptospirosis, pseudomonosis, borreliosis;
- oncology (preventing the development of secondary infection and infection of affected tissues);
- mastitis;
- purulent inflammation of the skin;
- introduction of antibiotics after surgery;
- fever, leaps of body temperature (treatment of primary or prevention and elimination of secondary infections in viral diseases).
Antibiotic therapy: pros and cons
Benefit:
- ease of reception, low dosages with a high therapeutic effect, a significant reduction in the course of the disease. There are preparations used brief courses or even one-time introduction due to its prolonged action;
- noticeably more fast recovery pet;
- the presence of a wide range of action preparations (this property is useful when the treatment decision must be taken immediately, and there is no time to determine the sensitivity to one or another narrowly specific antibiotic);
- the oppression of the development of secondary infections, which significantly reduces the risks of complications from the crossing;
- tangible therapeutic effect, even with a very high concentration of bacteria in the body.
Disadvantages and side effects:
- with improper selection and improper intake of antibiotics, the body's struggle with infections is significantly weakened;
- side effects with improper dosage calculation (bad and when the dose is exceeded, and when the flaw);
- long-term antimicrobial therapy courses reduce its action against the background of addictive microorganisms to the preparation;
- in rare cases, the disorder of the intestinal microflora.
With the correct selection of the antibacterial drug and the exact calculation of the dose, all side effects are minimized, and the disadvantages are compensated by a positive therapeutic effect!
What can provoke antibiotics
Antibacterial drugs do not always give side effects, but only in cases:
- overdose;
- incorrect selection of the drug to this particular disease;
- individual reaction to the antibiotic.
Especially these conditions concern pregnant BUK - side effects not only can manifest themselves on future puppies, but also interrupt the course of pregnancy.
What side symptoms can manifest themselves:
- diarrhea and / or vomiting;
- deterioration of wool condition;
- roscoming movements;
- the development of secondary infections that do not fall under the spectrum of the influence of the received drug;
- worsening hearing;
- general oppression, increased drowsiness, apathy, reduced reaction acuity to the surrounding;
- convulsions;
- toxic influence on internal organs: liver, bone or brain, kidney, etc.;
- allergic reactions (itching, urticaria, swelling, redness, difficulty breathing) up to anaphylaxia;
- disruption of digestion with signs of worsening food in the intestines.
Classification of antibiotics and choice than to treat
Dog owners must remember - antibiotics and antibacterial drugs Watch only veterinary specialists! Not all veterinary preparations have analogs among human. The dog after antibiotics only in the event will feel normal if all the rules for their selection and treatment algorithms are met.
Do not give up treatment if the veterinarian has no doubt about the diagnosis. The antibiotic for a wide spectrum dogs can also be appointed immediately (specialist!) - This concerns the cases when the animal feels very bad, and help must be rendered in the shortest possible time.
The information in the article can only be considered as familiarization. It is strictly not recommended to use it for self-treatment of pets without consultation with a branch! What antibiotics apply a dog when various diseases, Solves only the veterinarian!

| Dosage and ways of administration |
Antibiotics themselves are also made of bacteria that counteract others. harmful bacteria And effectively fight with various infections. They have the ability to produce useful material, for example, the synthesis of vitamin K, which is necessary for coagulation of blood.
Antibiotics are divided into two categories. The first is bacteriostatic and fungistatic. They do not kill microorganisms, but only stop their reproduction and growth. The second category is bactericidal antibiotics - completely destroying microorganisms, which are then derived from the body.
Types of dog antibiotics
For the treatment of dogs, several types of antibiotics are used. Most often it is medication of penicillin or cephalosporin. As a rule, veterinarians for the treatment of pets are recommended amoxicillin, gentamicin, Cephalexin or Sulfametox.
Amoxicillin refers to the Penicillin class and is used to treat a wide range of infections in dogs. These are respiratory or gastrointestinal infections, dental jacks, infected wounds, infections urinary tract. This medicine is quite often prescribed by the veterinarian, since the minimum side effects arise from it. It can be diarrhea, nausea, changes in behavior. But they happen quite rarely.
However, some dogs on amoxicillin have allergies, so the owner needs to closely monitor the appearance of any skin rash and other allergic reactions at the pet.
Gentamicin refers to the cephalosporin class and is recommended for use with open contaminated wounds, as well as eye and ear infections. Typically, this medicine for the treatment of dogs is used in the form of spray or ointment, because in the form of tablets it can cause serious side effects, especially in overdose. There may be a loss of hearing or blindness.
Cephalexin is similar to Penicillin and therefore can be used to treat infection from a variety of diseases. Especially this antibiotic is effective in combating bacterial infections in the bones or damaged skin areas, as well as for the treatment of respiratory infections and diseases bladderas well as the output system.
From CEPHALEXIN there are such side effects as diarrhea, abdominal pain. If an antibiotic is applied in the form of ointments, then skin irritation is possible.
Sulfamethox is most often recommended for urinary, respiratory and gastrointestinal infections, as well as cystitis. This medication also has such side effects as nausea, and the absence of appetite. Perhaps dehydration and therefore the dog should always have water.
Hazardous use of antibiotics
As a rule, antibiotics write no more than ten days, since their long-term use can cause serious harm to health.
In addition, antibiotics for dogs must be used in strict accordance with the disease and, while observing the strict dosage, which is calculated based on the weight of the animal.
Vet. For treatment, there are special antibiotics intended for four-legged, they are often the same as usual, but have postfix "VP" (veterinary drug): "Gentamicin-VP", "Amoxicillin VP", "Cefalexin VP" (active ingredient - CEPHALEXIN), as well as "Timetoprix 2VP" ( international name - "Sulfametox"). The listed medicines are the most common. It is them most often prescribed veterinarians to combat dangerous dog diseases.
"Gentamicin-VP" is used in open and some infections, for example, the ear. This drug exists mainly in the form of ointments, since the tablets extremely negatively affect the body, hitting the rumor and the vision of the animal. For receiving inside prescribe
1.1 ml of "Gentamicin-VP" by 10 kg of the weight of the animal. The tablet needs to be frozen and give a dog with water every 12 hours. Between the reception of the drug you need to stimulate the animal more drink, offer not only water, but light broths, dairy products.
"Amoxicillin VP" is used when skin diseases, gastrointestinal infections and urinary tract infections. This antibiotic is most often discharged by a veterinarian, as it is practically safe. But still there are dogs that have allergies to this medicine, so the first time to use it is needed with caution. The drug is most convenient to pour and pour into the feed in the form of a powder.
"Cefalexin VP" is used in the treatment of respiratory infections, as well as bacterial infections in the bones. In order for the drug to be no side effects, such as diarrhea, you need to carefully control the dose. Let it be dissolved in not large quantities Water, you can pour fluid into a bowl for water, and you can drink a dog from a spoon. To do this, lock the animal, squeeze the jaw so that large fingers You could move the top lip. In the interdental space, pour the medicine and wait until the dog swallows it. Be sure to praise the pet. Give a small amount of unsweetened delicacy.
"Timetoprix 2VP" is prescribed against cystitis, respiratory and gastrointestinal, as well as urinary infections. It should be given with water.
Antibiotics for dogs should be applied strictly depending on a disease, as well as correctly calculate the dosage. Dogs are endowed with weak liver, so it is necessary to carefully control the dosage of drugs. The dose depends primarily on the weight of the animal.
As in human treatment, there are a number of the principles of working with antibiotics. So, it is strictly forbidden to independently reduce the dose of the drug, as well as to interrupt the course of treatment, which often make dogs, sorry for their pet. Remember that the improvement does not mean recovery, and the interrupted course can cause mutation of the virus and the development of negative resistance, simply speaking, that drug that helped your dog last time will not save the next one.
In addition, you can give antibiotics not more than 10 days, as the abuse will lead to dangerous consequences For dogs. After the course of antibiotics traveled, it is recommended to make your pet with medicines for improving the liver condition, as well as with a plundering vitamins.
In some cases veterinarian Appoints the dog to receive antibiotics, which have a certain set of contraindications, as well as dosage. Among popular medicinal preparations - Cymprov, as well as amoxicillin and marfloxy. It is about these antibiotics that will be discussed.

Probably, the treatment of dogs with antibiotics is one of those that are constantly acutely discussed, and with the advent of the Internet, disputes spread in community and forums. Let us intervene in these discussions in order to figure out something.
Against whom they work
Modern antibacterial agents They have a fairly detailed classification, where everything about them is told, but we do not get into these debursions. It is important for us to know that antibiotics in action are two types: bacteriostatic - do not give microbes to multiply and bactericidal - kill the bacterium. The duration of reception depends on this.
For example, if you stop the reproduction of bacteria, then the body still needs about a week to digest and remove these bacteria, but you can kill them in a few hours or a day. But here there are their nuances to which we will return.
During the treatment of dogs with antibiotics, it is possible to influence the bacteria only, and they, unfortunately they do not act on the viruses. Antibiotic is useless against virus, but it is often used to fight bacteria, which brevily multiply after the virus has worked.
Antibiotics is evil, Gada, those who came up with!
I will tell you that thanks to veterinary drugs, namely, when the dogs were treated with antibiotics, they managed to save not one dog life. If antibiotics use, as it should be, they work well with the smallest pages.
Let's look at the rules that will help reduce side effects.
1. Observe the timing. That is, if you have been prescribed the drug for 7 days, then apply it for 7 days, even when the dog became quite good and she jumps and runs.
2. Stick dosage. It happens that a person read on the Internet, heard that it was harmful, and completely cancel the drug is terrible, thinks ukol just in case of half. But it is better to introduce more or not at all to use than to underestimate the dose.
3. Do not apply the same antibiotic, with the same disease, in the same dose again.
Now let's decipher these three items from our rules. If not to do so, as written above, then some bacteria survive and reproduce again. But they are already accustomed to this drug, they have sustainability and the next time they do not affect not only this antibiotic, but the whole range. We will have to use a stronger drug.
4. Often prescribe dogs with antibiotics when increased temperature, or as an anti-inflammatory agent, which is not entirely true. As we remember, antibiotics act only against bacteria, and the temperature rises not only in a bacterial infection. For example, often the dog is 41 ° C during, and in this case, a completely different drug is needed.
5. I do not recommend that you apply a strong preparation of a wide range of action when you can do the weaker. Perhaps your doggie more often will get sick and it may need a strong drug, and you have already used it earlier. And if it is prior to it before, it means there is a chance that the microbes are survived to this antibiotic. Do not waste a powerful tool for a trifle.
After recovery, you need to drink yogurt or other probiotics to restore the microflora
Opinion about much Intestine microflora is greatly exaggerated. Yes, microbes play their role in digestion, but not so much the work of the intestine depends on them, as they say. Treatment of dogs with antibiotics does not lead to the death of all microbes without disaster. This is especially true of modern drugs.
The fact is that different antibiotics in different ways penetrate the tissue. Some in large quantities accumulate in the bones, others in the teeth, third in the kidneys and so on. Not always and not all antibiotics fall into the intestines, so there is no need to always drink yogurt. That is, if you stick to the dosage, then the total death of the whole living in the body will not be.
But now after antibiotics, anyone, it is customary to prescribe yogurts, bifidobacteria, lactobacillia, which are practicing and doctors, to restore microflora. But this is a useless occupation, especially for the dog, in the digestion, which the bacteria do not play special significance. Normal microflora to recover during several days, but provided that the feeding is properly.
I noticed that probiotics are often used with antibiotics, to reduce side effect The latter. But if antibiotics are so dangerous and killed everyone, then why don't they kill live bacteria that are contained in yogurt? Logical?
Observe the diet. No need during illness and immediately after recovery to load a dog food, the body may not cope with all the food you give. Not digestible food will begin to wander, the animal will fade, and it will buck a lot.
