Imbalanced and less diverse microbiomes take considerable time to recover. Use antibiotics only when absolutely necessary, and adhere to guidelines for appropriate usage.
When symptoms disappear in a dog undergoing antibiotic treatment, there might be a temptation to discontinue antibiotic use immediately. However, some harmful bacteria may not be eradicated right away, and premature discontinuation of antibiotics can lead to the development of more resistant bacteria in the future. Moreover, microbial imbalance due to antibiotic use is most pronounced in the early stages of treatment. Therefore, it's important not to discontinue antibiotics arbitrarily but to complete the treatment as per the guidelines.
