Magnesium Sulfate
別名: Epsom Salts, Magnesium sulphate injection BP
**Magnesium sulfate** (Epsom salt) is often used at home for soaking sore paws or treating minor localized swellings. * **Topical Soaks:** Dissolve the recommended amount in warm water. **Do not let your pet drink the soak water**, as it can cause severe diarrhea and potential electrolyte imbalances. * **Oral Use:** If prescribed as a laxative, expect your pet to have loose stools. Ensure they have constant access to fresh drinking water to prevent dehydration. * **When to Call the Vet:** Contact your veterinarian immediately if your pet becomes extremely lethargic, weak, has difficulty breathing, or collapses.
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。
