[nagdu] Benny's troubles

[The Pawpower Pack]

 tracy, my dog Mill'E has been on kefflex now for a week.  I try and give her yogurt every day before bed and I will begin giving her probiotic capsules after her course of Kefflex is done next week.  The reason I'm waiting is because I am reading a lot of conflicting info about the effectivness of probiotics given during a course of antibiotics.  I'm lucky because my dog doesn't seem to be negatively effected by the Kefflex at all.  Best of luck to you and I hope this clears up.
