Three Common Misconceptions About Dog Medication

Many experienced dog owners will tell you that when a dog has diarrhea, giving it some Mamiai is an effective solution, and they often keep some at home. This is a misconception that many new dog owners make. Today, I will tell you about the misunderstandings regarding the use of Mamiai.

1. Does a dog with diarrhea always need to take Mamiai?

Dog diarrhea can be caused by many factors, such as parasites, infectious diseases, overeating, and getting cold.

Mamiai is just a probiotic that regulates the gastrointestinal tract, and it is specifically designed for infants, not for our dogs. Therefore, we need to give dogs medicine according to their symptoms, and not treat them all the same.

2. Should a dog with a cold take human cold medicine?

Absolutely not! Do not give your dog human cold medicine or fever reducers, such as Baijiabei, Kantaike, and Gankang. The acetaminophen and ibuprofen ingredients in these medications can cause significant harm to the animal's body, especially the liver.

Treatment for dog cold and cough:

Focus on antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and nutritional care. Usual medications include interferon injections and rapid-acting antibiotics like Sumialin.

3. Should you immediately buy trace element tablets when your dog eats poop?

Giving trace element tablets will not cure your dog's habit of eating poop. Dogs have a strong sense of taste, and it's understandable that they might bite socks and shoes. Why can't we understand why they eat poop? There are many reasons why dogs eat poop, and it's difficult to correct. The key is prevention, clean up immediately after defecation, and be cautious when walking outdoors.
