win4profit Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Gypsy has the runs from an extended course of antibiotics. Her tummy was squealing last night so I made a late night run to Target and picked up some Greek yogurt. I gave her a couple of tablespoons last night and a couple this morning with her kibble. Should I be giving her more or less? Is there anything else I should be giving her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissn333 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I used to give Ace what I would call a "dollup". Basically a heaping spoonful. Some people use canned pumpkin too - about the same amount as the yogurt Quote Kristin in Moline, IL USA with Ozzie (MRL Crusin Clem), Clarice (Clarice McBones), Latte and Sage the IGs, and the kitties: Violet and Rose Lovingly Remembered: Sutra (Fliowa Sutra) 12/02/97-10/12/10, Pinky (Pick Me) 04/20/03-11/19/12, Fritz (Fritz Fire) 02/05/01 - 05/20/13, Ace (Fantastic Ace) 02/05/01 - 07/05/13, and Carrie (Takin the Crumbs) 05/08/99 - 09/04/13. A cure for cancer can't come soon enough.-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racindog Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Mine get yogurt every morning. Sometimes it will be as much as 5-6 ounces if not a little more. Never had a problem but some would probably frown on it. However I very very rarely ever ever have any loose stool issues either. When on antibiotic therapy I also like to give them 1 Primal Defense with HSO organisms probiotic pill each day(cheapest on EBAY). I take it myself occassionally. I believe it has helped prevent antibiotic/drug induced loose stools and I think it helps keep the gut flora healthy which is probably more important than many realize so I occassionally give them one even if nothing appears wrong.JMO.

Guest greyers Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 In the past I have only given 1-2 tablespoons. I have never used them, but perhaps some folks might suggest probiotics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeofNE Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Yogurt gives my dog the runs! When he's on antibiotics, I use probiotic "Pearls." Easy as pie, and work well.
