Feeding Yogurt after antibiotics

[charlottenicol]

My horse is on a fairly hefty dose of antibiotics at the moment and I was wondering if it was appropriate to feed some yogurt once he has finished them to restore some to the balance in his tum?

Excellent idea the best yoghurt is Rachel's organic it has more 'good' bacteria than any other!

Yoghurt is fine in general but for after a course of antibiotics I would rather use a specific probiotic such as yeasacc. That's interesting about Rachels, I just normally look for live yoghurt at the supermarket.

When my mare was on a lot of antibiotics the vet offered me a paste which was whats she referred to as the horsey version of yakult a probiotic for her tummy. you gave it to them over the course of a few days administered in a wormer type thingymajig. not sure if that helps.

My vet told me to use supermarket bio natural yoghurt.

Bet mine was cheaper

Yes, and mine . . . Rachel's organic . . . Kal liked the raspberry one the best (not so hot on the peach).

I do give probiotics ( Protexin ) after antibiotics I don't fed yogurt , dairy is not a natural food for adult horses.
