Amprolium
別名: Amprovine, Corid, Amprol, Coxoid, Coxiprol, Nemapro, Harkers Pigeon Coccidiosis Treatment
> **Important:** This medication is used to treat coccidia, a common intestinal parasite. It is often mixed into your pet's food or water. * **Taste & Hydration:** The liquid form of this medication can be very bitter. If you are instructed to add it to your pet's drinking water, monitor them closely to ensure they are actually drinking it. If they refuse the water, contact your veterinarian immediately to prevent dangerous dehydration. * **Dietary Supplements:** Do not give your pet extra Vitamin B supplements (specifically thiamine) while they are on this medication unless explicitly directed by your veterinarian, as it can stop the drug from working. * **Side Effects:** Watch for loss of appetite, diarrhea, or unusual neurologic signs (such as stumbling, extreme lethargy, or weakness). Contact your vet if these occur. * **Hygiene:** Coccidia is spread through feces. Clean litter boxes, cages, and yards frequently to prevent your pet from reinfecting themselves.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。
