[Na][NH2] + H2O NH3 + [Na][OH]. Water and alcohols are similar as Bronsted acids and they also have similar acid dissociation constants. The conjugate base of an alcohol is called an alkoxide. Above we see the dissociation of methanol to a solvated proton and the conjugate base methoxide.he hydrogen is a little less electronegative than the carbon so a C-H bond is slightly polarized with more electron density on carbon. Excess electron density on a carbon adjacent to a negatively charged oxygen atom (in the alkoxide) destabilizes the conjugate base and makes the acid a little weaker.
Conventional treatment of kennel cough in dogs depends on the severity of the infection. For mild cases of kennel cough, antibiotics may or may not be administered. If administered, the drugs of choice are the tetracyclines and trimethoprimsulfa and the antibiotics are continued for 7 to 10 days. In addition, cough suppressants may also be used to treat mild cases.
Benadryl, or another branded antihistamine, can be incredibly useful for treating allergies, bug bites, or other causes of itchy skin. Buffered aspirin is an excellent anti-inflammatory and pain reliever. Even Dramamine can be used for dogs with motion sickness, and Immodium can treat diarrhea. However, dosages for dogs are much different than for humans. Use the chart below to determine if your OTC medication is dog (and cat) safe and how much should be administered. Always check with your veterinarian that understands your petâs health and history before giving any medications. Additionally, be certain that youâre using only the medication listed, not other ingredients. Many antihistamines, for example, include added decongestants that can be lethal for your dog.
