It can result in chronic kidney failure, hypoalbuminemia, which can cause ascites and peripheral edema, and nephrotic syndrome, which can cause hypertension or hypercoagulability. [156] Familial renal disease is an uncommon cause of kidney failure in young dogs. Most causes are breed-related (familial) and some are inherited.
"Fluctuations in sex hormones can also cause coat changes in some dogs. In males, some testicular tumors can cause coat thinning and mammary gland enlargement." Endocrine disease: Symptoms.
Thus, neomycin kills bacteria as a result of irregular protein production in the bacterial cell. When the cell can no longer produce the correct proteins, its membrane becomes damaged. [23] As a result of damaged membrane, the affected bacterial cells die, and the infection is prevented or limited. [medical citation needed]
Ovulation occurs 24–48 hours after the luteinizing hormone peak, which occurs around the fourth day of estrus; therefore, this is the best time to begin breeding.

Trimethoprim may cause sun sensitivity. [1] There is evidence of potential harm during pregnancy in some animals but not humans. [3] It works by blocking folate metabolism via dihydrofolate reductase in some bacteria, preventing creation of bacterial DNA and RNA and leading to bacterial cell death. [1] Trimethoprim was first used in 1962. [4]
