My 70lb pitbull has diarrhea from eating a bone that is against his usual diet. Ive been feeding him boiled chicken and rice and 2 Imodium a day. Can I give him a human probiotic to possibly help?

Hi, thanks for using Petcoach! Poor Nino! I like probiotics formulated for dogs. My favorite is Purina Fortiflora. If the diarrhea doesn't improve in a couple of days on a probiotic I recommend that you take Nino to the Vet. They can start him on an antibiotic to help! https://www.chewy.com/purina-pro-plan-veterinary-diets/dp/50029?utm_source=google-product
