As some of you may know, I posted yesterday about my baby boy, Dooney, having squirty watery poo. The vet came out and presecribed a 5 day course of antibiotics and recommended that I get a probiotic like pink powder.
Now, I was in Countrywide today, eyeing up the various tubs of pink powder and I suddenly had a thought:
Is it worth feeding him probiotics whilst he's on antibiotics? Surely antibiotics are pretty indiscriminate and will kill any good bacteria I pump into him? Has anyone got any thoughts on this?
I've missed the vet now so I can't ask her, and tbh I'd feel a bit daunted by questioning her judgement. I don't pretend to be a vet - it's just a thought I had. I might be completely wrong about how these things work.
Also, I remember reading a thread on how pink powder is 95% filler so I was wondering what I should feed instead.
