Superinfections. Antibiotics can sometimes lower your resistance from other organisms so superinfections may happen. sometimes non adherence can result to recurrent infections.


Why should't doctores over prescribe antibiotics?

Because the organisms that the antibiotics kill (to make you better) evolve resistance to the antibiotics when they are exposed to them. This means that the more the exposure (prescribing) the faster resistance develops. Antibiotics should therefore ONLY be used when really needed and taken EXACTLY as they are meant to. Stopping a dose of antibiotics before a full course of treatment is worse than over prescribing.


How much antibiotics do you give a dog?

You should never give your dog antibiotics yourself. If your dog needs antibiotics then he or she needs to be taken in to see a Veterinarian to correctly diagnose the problem. The Vet would know what is the proper antibiotic to give and in what dose. Why mess around with your pet's life??
