Knowing
that weaker antibiotics create all these problems, you can only
imagine what stronger ones will cause. It is a vicious cycle because
ultimately bacteria will become resistant to new and more powerful
antibiotics too.
When
antibiotics are used, both good as well as
bad bacteria are destroyed in the intestinal tract or bowel. Once the
antibiotics are stopped, the bad bacteria grows back first and far more rapidly. This results in a very unhealthy and
weakened body with very little friendly or good bacteria.
On average,
it takes one year to recover from the use of antibiotics if you
are feeding good food and supplementing with friendly bacteria. If the
diet is poor, your dog will take even longer
to recover and may never fully recover at all.
Antibiotics relieve symptomatic problems but usually when they are
stopped, the symptoms return so more
antibiotics are given.
Antibiotics are given to help combat the problems that the antibiotics
created in the first place. They are definitely over-prescribed and
certainly over used. They do nothing for a virus and are prescribed
anyway.
