My dog's poop is still abnormal after antibiotics. What to do?

Question

Rumple was on Cephalexin 750mg twice a day for a total of 17 days (with a three day break after 7 days) he finished them November 1st 2018. For the last 7 days he was also on Fortiflora Canine PVD. Since being on the antibiotics his poos have continued to be abnormal, although, some times they seem to be getting closer to normal colour and consistency but then they go back to being partly clay-like texture on one end and degreasing to more difficult to pick up near the finish. Bio has more info. Pet's info: Dog | Labradoodle | Male | neutered | 1 year and 2 months old | 60 lbs

Hi. I would recommend adding a spoonful of canned pumpkin to each meal to increase fiber. You can also add boiled rice. If that doesn't help, i would recommend talking with your veterinarian about possibly getting him on metronidazole to help firm up the stools. Good luck
