We all know that there are terrible germs and wonderful means of fighting them - antibiotics. But are microbes (or rather microorganisms) so dangerous and are antibiotics really necessary?
- In winter, my dog caught a cold, I gave her ampicillin for a couple of days. Then in June she ate some rubbish, there was diarrhea, I gave her chloramphenicol, though irregularly - there was no time at the dacha. August was cool, apparently there was cystitis - I had to drink tetracycline. And now something is wrong with her: the molt is delayed, the skin gets wet, there are abscesses between the fingers, the ears flow and stink, diarrhea has started again, and she is losing weight by leaps and bounds. Why's that?!

We all know that there are terrible germs and wonderful means of fighting them - antibiotics. But are microbes (or rather microorganisms) so dangerous and are antibiotics really necessary?
Microorganisms live everywhere. The vast majority of microorganisms are absolutely safe, and without many, normal life is simply impossible. They help us digest food. In particular, even herbivores, such as cows, cannot digest fiber. For them, this work is performed by microorganisms, accumulating in the rumen weighing up to several kilograms (!!!), and the bigot, supposedly a vegetarian, the cow then uses them as protein food. They live inside us and protect us from their aggressive brethren. Agree, it's stupid to destroy your protectors and assistants! That is why the uncontrolled use of antibiotics, so popular among the people, does not lead to a cure, but to a worsening of the situation.
How to be? The answer is simple: never use antibiotics without a doctor's prescription !!! If you started treatment, strictly follow the dosage and course. The dose is selected individually, taking into account the characteristics of a particular animal. The dose given to your neighbor's dog can be dangerous for yours (maybe your dog has contraindications to this drug, but the neighbor's dog does not). Interruption of the course is also fraught with trouble: the harmful microbe will not be completely defeated and will soon manifest itself again in all its glory, and in the most unexpected place. And the worst thing is that he will already be addicted to this medicine. Often, animals are given medications, but a large number of veterinary drugs have been developed that are more convenient to use (it is convenient to dose, do not need to be administered often). The drugs are sold exactly in the amountwhich is right for you.
But what about our friends - useful microorganisms? Unfortunately, antibiotics kill any microflora without asking for a passport. As a result, dysbiosis develops (an abnormal ratio of microorganisms, against the background of which fungi and pathogenic microbes multiply). To solve this problem, special preparations have been developed - probiotics containing live microorganisms. Probiotics are used after a course of antibiotic therapy, in case of gas accumulation, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, allergies, in gynecological and andrological practice. Probiotics are useful for pregnant and lactating animals, as well as for artificial babies. Veterinary probiotics can be easily given with food (powders or pastes) or by hand (delicious milk powder tablets) and are easy to dose. Some of them, in addition to microorganisms, also contain a sorbent - a substance that absorbs gases and poisons. Due to this, in case of poisoning or flatulence, sorbents do not need to be given additionally. Others contain a complex of interferons - substances that enhance the work of the body's immune (defense) system, or immunomodulators, which allows the use of these drugs not only to replenish microflora, but also to increase immunity in diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, cocci, subcutaneous ticks, etc. …but also to increase immunity in diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, cocci, subcutaneous mites, etc.but also to increase immunity in diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, cocci, subcutaneous ticks, etc.
Veterinarians in clinics and pharmacies will always give you comprehensive information about the appropriateness of each drug. Do not self-medicate!

Almost all the described signs of starvation in adult plants are irreversible, they cannot be completely avoided, even by spraying the plants with the appropriate fertilizers. They most often serve as a signal for action in the next year and in the years to come. Therefore, there is no need to wait for obvious signs of plant starvation. It is always better to carry out preventive spraying of plants, which will avoid the appearance of irreversible phenomena during plant starvation
