dbullwinkel Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Flex (Ig) is on doxycycline for lupus. I am wondering if he should be getting any sort of replacement in the way of good bacteria...I am worrying about everything I give or don't give him! If I need to give him probiotics, am I better of with a powdered form or would natural yogurt be ok? also, how much of either? he weighs 13lbs..give or take. thanks.

ahicks51 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Either will be effective; the question is whether the gut organisms that are helpful to humans are necessarily desirable flora for the canine. At this point in time, it doesn't seem to hurt- judging by the large number of people that give their dogs yogurt or other probiotics- but it's uncertain what sort of effect this has on the intestinal flora over the long run. Maybe none? I dunno. Quote Coco (Maze Cocodrillo) Minerva (Kid's Snipper) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
