Donating YT 500 Club Member | Probiotic recommendation Taycie has been on Amoxicillan for the past week and I have been really thinking of doing some probiotics for her to help things get back to normal. What do you recommend?

| Last year when Sammy was having tummy troubles he was on antibiotic and the vet also gave him Proviable-KP to give him at home - which he did not like!!!! In the package there were also capsules of it that you could sprinkle on the food. He wouldn't eat the rx from the tube. ( I don't blame him, it did not look too good!!). |

| Probiotics are a great start, but using foods that are prebiotics and contain oligosaccharides, such as oatmeal, within their food provides the needed macromolecules that feed the colon's beneficial flora as well. This flora contributes to the increased immunity from pathogenic bacteria that try to establish a foothold within the GI tract. I use both, pro-and prebiotics with my two. |
