My dog is having diarrhea from taking cephalexin for a skin infection. Are there any home remedies I can try? Can I give him pro-pectalin tabs?

A veterinary probiotic, FortiFlora, ProStora or ProViable, may help. You can get any one of them from your veterinarian or in the local Petco. A teaspoon or two of plain yogurt along with a bland diet may also help.
