thanks for confirming with me what i thought all along. i have done lots of reserach to pick a good food that would agree with my babies and i knew i had it, but sometimes you just need a little reassurance. by the way what food do you feed? |
Oh ok.. sorry i missed that other thread. Since she is on anti biotics it is CRUICIAL that she also eat pro-bioitic yogurt (like Activia). The antibioitcs are killing all the good bacteria and the bad bacteria and the yogurt will put the good bacteria back in- try 1/2 small container a day.
I home cook (which was going to be my suggestion if you weren't sure what was wrong with her belly- just boiled chicken breast and white rice- you can still do this if you want.. it will be easier on her tummy while she is sick) and when i need kibble i currently use Wellness but when this bag is done i will be changing to Natural Balance.
