Hoping for a little advice about my pup.<p>My 10 week old pup was diagnosed yesterday with salmonella after a very long and frustrating month of loose stool/diarrhea in an otherwise very energetic, healthy-acting dog. Prior to the diagnosis I was in the process of eliminating everything from his diet that he might be sensitive to...including, finally, the salmon oil and vitamin E.</p><p>With the diagnosis of salmonella can I now return to using the salmon oil and vitamin E or could that somehow interfere with the antibiotic he started last night? He's on Amoxicillian for the next 2 weeks. I've also started adding 1 TBS plain yogurt/day to his food as a probiotic while he's on the medication. Is this enough or should he have it more often?</p><p>Any advice is appreciated.</p>

I'd ask the vet who prescribed the med. My own feeling is that I'd go back to the salmon oil and E, and that most vets these days are also well-versed on Omega 3 EFAs (like fish oil). At last. <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> But I start slow; it is fat.
I'd use a tablespoon of plain live-culture yogurt at every meal, upping it gradually to 2 per meal. I've found that this kind of fermented milk product is tolerated well by most dogs, but I start it slow to make sure.
