With yogurt, it's an acquired taste ... I use strawberry and blue berry with real fruit in it ... I get the individual serving size, to prevent waste. Yogurt would have to be given half way between the doses of antibiotics ... at least 3 hours before or after the meds.
Some chins love it ... I have one that literally cries for it.
Some chins will tolerate it, after they get use to it.
Some chins will never take it ... HINT: The ones that will never take it is the ones that stand on their hind legs, turn round and round in circles as they try to spit it out and wipe it off their lips as they are twirling around. You can't help but laugh, but at the same time you have to feel sorry for them, too.
If you have the latter one ... the one that refuses ... acidophiles is a good substitute. You can get it at the health food store in capsules. REFRIGERATE after opening.
When using this method, I put hay {1 cup packed} and pellets {1/4 cup} in the blender and pulverize it (wait till all settles to the bottom of the container, or you will have a green cloud in your kitchen).
... Allow it to cool by placing it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes ... after it cools ...
... Add one capsule of acidophilus and mix it up by hand
... Take a few drops of cold water at a time and make mini footballs (about the size of a raisin)
... Give him these ... as many as he wants ... but, only one at a time, so that the acidophilus remains active
... Store what is left over in an airtight jar or container.
Keep us posted!
