[nagdu] Benny's troubles

[Tracy Carcione]

About a month ago, Ben had a problem for a night where he had to go out
extra and pee a river or two.  The problem went away next day, then came
back last Thursday and Sunday.  Oddly enough, I was going away the next
day the first 2 times he had the problem, but he didn't seem stressed
about it.  Anyway, I took him to the vet, and she says that his urine is
not as concentrated as it should be, but he doesn't have a urinary tract
infection, so he either has a kidney infection, or he has kidney disease. 
So he has to take a course of antibiotics to see if it fixes the problem,
which will be a bit hard to know, as it comes and goes.  But here's hoping
it does fix the problem, and it's nothing more serious than an infection.
Panic!  I always imagine the worst, but try to hope for the best.
Has anyone given probiotics to their dog after a course of antibiotics? 
Was it helpful?
Has anyone had a similar problem to Ben's?
Oh, the vet says I will notice a change in Ben's demeanor when he starts
feeling better.  I have to laugh.  Ben is his usual Bubba self, waving his
long tail and looking for things to sniff, or eat.
