As death nears, the body slows down. People donât need as much food or fluids as before, so they donât feel hungry or thirsty. It may go against your instincts, but try to let the person decide when and what they want to eat or drink. A person nearing death may also have problems swallowing. Donât force them to eat or drink if this is the case.
Doxycycline is a prescription antibiotic. In most situations, the product is not appropriate for use during pregnancy due to the risk of problems such as tooth discoloration. The manufacturers of doxycycline recommend that pregnant women take doxycycline only if the potential benefits of the medication outweigh the possible risks to the fetus.
Doxycycline should not be administered to an animal with a known allergy to the medication or one who has been hypersensitive to it in the past. This medication should not be administered to animals younger than seven months of age, as Doxycycline may bind to calcium in the teeth, causing discoloration. Similarly, it should be avoided during the first half of pregnancy, as it may alter the growth or skeleton of the unborn animal(s).
