Default Acidophilus

May I suggest using this as it may help build up his good bacteria. Ally gets it every day in her food due to her medical problems and it has helped. I know this is not answering the "why" he's getting this but it could off set it from happening the next time.

When ever any of my pups are on antibiotic they get this also.

Hope the Dig Man feels better soon!


Acidophilus is a powdered form of a bacteria called 'lactobacillus.' It is used when the intestines have been compromised by illness, stress, or the use of medications like antibiotics. In these situations, the normal 'friendly' bacteria which help in digestion often die and are replaced by bacteria which tend to cause problems such as increased intestinal gas and diarrhea. The lactobacillus bacteria are used to help prevent overgrowth of these undesirable bacteria, and allow the 'friendly' bacteria to recover their normal numbers.
