BeneBac is beneficial bacteria and is made for many species and they do make one for dogs. I give a small tube of it to buyers of my puppies with instructions to use it for the first coupla days and under any stress situations..IBS is a condition that these babies get and is very difficult to deal with..All of that Pepto would worry me but your vet knows what he likes to prescribe and what works for him..
I know how hard it is to try to keep your spirits up in these times. You need to take care of yourself as well....I pray that your son and your furbaby both get well and do it soon.. |
i have gotten a few responses w/regard to worry her not having enuff "good" bacteria.... should i get her some yogurt or what you mentioned above or should i wait and talk to the vet on monday before doing anything? Thanks again for all the advice and well wishes...
as of last night she stopped eating the prescription diet again she did this last time we tried it too (ate it for like 2 days then refused it) i really dont know what to do i can't starve her but the other foods are making her sick or at least not helping is my understanding...
