I just got a puppy from the pound and he had kennel cough, I took him back and they said that there is no treatment for this. They did give him antibiotics for a possible secondary infection but kennel cough has to run its course much like a humas virus has to. They did say I can use Robitussin DM for the coughing symptoms. The puppy is fine but now my older dog has it, the vet said we have to let it run its course but she looks so miserable. I am giving her robitussin but I want to give her a boost of natural antibiotics that are safve for dogs. I did get some drops from the health food store but they do not have any antibiotic properties.

HELP! Thanks

Is there any concrete research that these cultured dairy drinks are useful to human health? Are supplements from a health food store just as effective? Can some probiotic supplements be harmful to anyone?

Probiotics?




When they have higher strains does that mean better the product? i purchased one that had 12 billion and my sister has one that had 30 billion…should i be jealous? (SMILE) and is it possible to take too much of the Probiotic? (the lady @ the health food store says the body will just kick out what is not needed)

I am taking a wide spectrum of antibiotics right now and want to get started on some probiotics. I bought some from a health food store, but have no idea how to take them. Is there a certain time of day to take them, and how closely can I take them with my antibiotics? Or does none of this matter at all? Thanks! P.S. I’m also eating yogurt.

Have you ever heard of giving a baby probiotics?




My ped suggested I start giving my baby probiotics from a health food store because he was having problems with loose stoole while he was on antibiotics for an infection. It worked great! But, I was curious if anyone else had ever either given them to their baby or had even heard of them.

My vet has given a prescription for my dog and I have some from the health food store that I take, so I wanted to know what the difference is? My vet said that there is, and since these pills cost over from vet, I would like to use something else.

I seem to get yeast and urinary tract infections very easily. What is something i could get at the health food store to prevent them?? Thanks!
