Many drop-side cribs have been recalled, because they pose a safety hazard to babies. These cribs are supposed to make it easier for parents to lift their children in and out, but some of the mechanisms that allow the rail to move up and down malfunction -- and create a gap that the infant can become trapped in. To make cribs safe for use, parents and caregivers must stop the drop-side from moving. It is important not to use a homemade immobilization device. Manufacturers have developed crib immobilization kits that are easy to install.
On June 28, 2011, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) banned the manufacture and sale of drop-side cribs, due to hundreds of infant and toddler injuries and over 30 deaths caused by malfunctioning cribs. Certain crib companies responded to the ban and previous recalls by creating immobilizers, special braces which hold the crib's drop side in place. Although you still cannot sell or donate a drop side crib with an immobilizer, it will make the crib safer for you to use with your own child.

Clavamox is a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. Your veterinarian will prescribe Clavamox if your dog is suffering from a bacterial infection.

Before administering Clavamox to your dog, it is important to know the potential side effects, as well as warning signs of allergic reaction and overdose.
According to the Mayo Clinic, glaucoma is the primary cause of irreversible blindness and the second leading cause of blindness. Glaucoma is a group of disorders that damage the eye's optic nerve---the primary vision nerve.
Glaucoma is a condition where damage occurs to the optic nerve, which sends visual information from the eye to the brain. This damage can often be lessened by reducing the pressure inside the eye. There are a number of different prescription eyedrops available which help to reduce the eye pressure. One of the more popular categories of eyedrops for glaucoma is known as prostaglandin analogs, which have a side effect of increasing eyelash growth in many users. Recently, one of the glaucoma drugs was reformulated into a new prescription to be applied to the eyelashes directly.
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve and can eventually cause blindness. Eye drops to treat glaucoma reduce the pressure inside the eye. Your eye doctor will determine which drops are best suited to treat you. If you have an allergic reaction to your eye drops, see a doctor immediately. If you have side effects from your eye drops, tell your doctor.
