 The
3Rs Of
Nutritional Support for
Antimicrobial Therapy
The classical approach to treating infections in animals
is to administer antibiotics and, if necessary, anti-inflammatory
agents as well. With today’s potent drugs, a
majority of the affected animals recover.
But, does the antibiotic bring back the animal’s
normal appetite and performance? Does the therapy
used to treat the infection address the problems of
dehydration, low energy and loss of appetite? The
answer is no.
For complete recovery, to prevent relapse and to put
the animal back on the path to rapid weight gain,
specific antibiotic therapy should also include supportive
nutritional therapy.
This supportive nutritional therapy includes Re-Colonize,
Re-Rnergize and Re-Hydrate. In short, the 3Rs.
Bomac Vets Plus & Probios® offers a wide range of products for recovery.
