Poodle (Detailed Introduction)

　　More and more people love pets, and the number of pet owners is increasing gradually, especially in large and medium-sized cities. In many pet owners' eyes, dogs after all are just animals. When they get sick, they simply buy some medicine themselves. However, unreasonable use poses great problems to dogs' health. Below are some consequences of antibiotic abuse.
　　1. Long-term use of penicillin can cause hypokalemia.
　　2. Cephalosporins damage the kidneys and can cause hypokalemia and gastric mucosa injury, leading to vitamin K deficiency.
　　3. Long-term use of gentamicin can cause hypokalemia, reduced absorption of calcium and magnesium, and decreased vitamin K synthesis.
　　4. Tetracycline antibiotics (such as tetracycline, chlortetracycline, doxycycline, etc.) can combine with certain elements (such as copper, iron, zinc, manganese, cobalt, calcium, magnesium, etc.) to form compounds that are difficult to absorb, reducing the body's absorption of drugs and nutrients. Since milk contains many of these elements, tetracycline antibiotics should not be taken with milk.
　　5. Chloramphenicol can cause iron-deficiency anemia, reduce folic acid and vitamin B12 levels, leading to megaloblastic anemia.
　　6. Antibacterial synergist—methoxazole-trimethoprim (TMP) can cause folic acid deficiency; long-term use may lead to megaloblastic anemia, decreased platelets, and leukocytes, so blood tests should be done promptly.
　　"All medicines have side effects"—medications should be strictly taken according to medical advice.
