Today's podcast is about how to avoid antibiotics.
Why would we want to avoid them?
Well, most antibiotics are toxic to the body, especially the kidneys and liver. And antibiotics kill bacteria--both infectious bacteria and healthy intestinal bacteria.
It is best to think about WHY we use antibiotics, and to start thinking about other possibilities.
We will always need antibiotics for when we or our horses are really sick. But we don't need antibiotics for every little thing, and we certainly don't need them as a preventative -- "Just in case an infection shows up".
I talk about other options for skin scrapes, coughing, nasal discharge, and diarrhea.
