World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week is 18 - 24 November.
When pets have diarrhoea, it’s easy to assume antibiotics are needed - but in most cases, it’s not caused by a bacterial infection.
Diet changes, stress, parasites, or underlying health conditions are often to blame.
Using antibiotics unnecessarily can disrupt your pet’s natural gut bacteria, which play a vital role in digestion and immunity.
It can also contribute to antimicrobial resistance, making future infections harder to treat.
✅ Seek your vet’s advice on the best course of action
