Discussion on “Pediatric Crack Recipes”:
Ping An When I was just one year old, I had a cold. At that time, Ping An’s mother consulted with several veterans in the dog circle and told her that the treatment method was to give her “children’s crack.” Therefore, my family, Ping An, has indeed taken this medicine. Don’t ask me about the dosage, I can’t remember what happened five years ago~
Later, after Ping An’s mother learned about the dangers of the acetyl amino acids contained in children’s crack formula, she never classified this drug as a drug for dogs. Within the range of medications available for dogs.
I’m very curious. It’s obvious that children’s crackers contain ingredients that are prohibited for dogs. Why do so many dogs in the dog circle use them?Are you okay?
When writing this article, I checked foreign information and found that this ingredient is actually used in pet medical treatment abroad, but it is not widely used, and there are strict dosage requirements: it must be prescribed by a professional doctor for dogs Calculate the appropriate dosage based on your weight.
Therefore, "acetyl amino acids" are still on the list of "dangerous ingredients" in this article, and parents are not recommended to take risks.

Dangerous ingredient “pseudoephedrine hydrochloride”:
An 18-pound (20-pound) dog can develop symptoms of poisoning if it ingests 30 mg of pseudoephedrine. , including behavioral changes such as mental stress, excitement and hyperactivity, and even problems such as breathing, accelerated heart rate and high blood pressure.
A dog weighing 18 pounds will be life-threatening if he ingests 90 mg of pseudoephedrine.

Dangerous ingredient “caffeine”:
Cats and dogs are more sensitive to caffeine than humans, which also makes them more susceptible to problems caused by overdose. Symptoms of poisoning appear within 30-60 minutes after excessive caffeine intake. The initial symptoms are restlessness, high excitement, hyperactivity, fast heartbeat, vomiting and even rapid breathing; later stages, tremors (shaking) and epilepsy may occur.

Caffeine poisoning dosage:
14 mg/lb: nervous excitement, restlessness;
23-27 mg/lb: Causes cardiotoxicity, which can lead to lifeDanger.
1 pound = 0.9 kg

gankang, Renhe Crack, the adult version of crack

Controversial ingredients:
Ibuprofen (NSAID), amantadine hydrochloride
In many domestic tutorials, These two types of drugs are also included in the "banned" list for dogs, but I checked foreign information and found that these two drugs are used in pet medical treatment, but they are "prescription drugs" and require doctors to decide the specific dosage. Excessive amounts can also cause "poisoning".
Therefore, parents should avoid these two ingredients in human cold medicine because we don’t know the allowable dosage range.
