Q. If we can get sick all the time- why not take antibiotics all the time and prevent it? I can take antibiotics to my child and prevent his from getting all sort of diseases. And if so- what should I give him?
A. the problem with abuising antibiotics is that, bacteries build resistance to them, and then when you really need them they wont work.
Q. can dogs suffer from the same illnesses we do? I work with lots of dogs. I have a few with problems that doesn't fit pets, I guess... I think the pointer has autism. can it be?? and if they eat too much sugar (cause I have one who go crazy for it), can they get diabetes? I know it sounds weird but I really hope you can help me..
A. Dogs can suffer from cancer and some others illness human suffers. After all we have 75% genes in common. They can also duffer from problem in the nervous system, that may lead you to think it's like autism, but i'm not sure it's the same..
