Question

Hello, I've heard that it can be good to give my dog probiotics while I'm giving her antibiotics. She got caught on a fence, and the cut became infected. The vet gave us a prescription, but when I was reading online, I saw that antibiotics might not be good for her. Does anyone know more about this?

Answer 1

Antibiotics will kill all of the baceria in your dog's system, including the good bacterial in her gut. Probiotics helps to replace the good bacteria.

Answer 2

I would definitely go with the probiotics. My dog was having constant ear problems for a while and had to be on them. They gave her diarrhea. I started using probiotics for her after a friend told me about them, and it really made a difference. I don't know why my vet didn't say anything about them.

I would definitely go with the probiotics. They do help with diarrhea, but they also stimulate the immune system and help with stress that your pet can feel beccause of illness.
