You need to take probiotics when you are not eating meat. For dog a fermented salad is great way of doing this.
The fermented pulped salad is made (mostly with leafy greens) adding probiotics (human grade and non dairy) to establish the good bacteria in the intestines. The human grade digestive enzymes are also added (need one with cellulase and amylase at least) are added to the pulped salad and keep the mix at BODY temperature for at least 15 minutes before feeding, wait at least 2 hours after this salad mix before feeding meaty bones for the best results. This salad helps diarrhea problems as well as constipation, boost the immune system and gives extra b vitamins to boot :o)))) It helps to repair the intestines by establishing good bacteria that prefers raw food and leafy greens. You first pulp the veggies (chop up some romaine lettuce so it is easier to process, some freeze it first to smash into very tiny pieced in the bag after it is frozen) some add a little water for processing) it should look like baby food when done. For sick animals make it mostly leafy greens and low starchy veggies. You can freeze this mush and then continue the rest of the procedure when you need some more fermented veggies. With the thawed mixture or the freshly made one you add some probiotics human grade (non dairy type) always sold in the fridge of pharmacy or health food store. add one capsule or digestive enzymes (like UDO's digestive blend human type, though if you read the labels you will find similar types for less money) but they should have the basics of Cellulase and Amylase. (for dogs and cats about 10 pounds or less use 1/4 capsule of each) Best with a sick dog to add to his food as well and so they should also have Lipase and Protease. I share my digestive enzymes with my dog so I make sure that is also has Lactase as I have problems with milk digestion (but if the mix you get does not have this it is still good for the dog) I do not like the dog types because they often add stuff and some use the poorest quality and the probiotics often are not alive. Some are a joke and if you read the label are often are just prebiotics and sold on a shelf so no live ones left (The ones I have seen are a waste of money IMO or not as beneficial as getting the human grade varieties) Some use this salad instead of a fast day when feeding a raw meaty bone diet.

Gelatin dissolves in the stomach, where I would expect the culture to get killed. It seems to me that any probiotics should use a hard shell coating that does not break down in the stomach so the live culture can make it to the intestines. Are all probiotics using gelatin capsules? This somehow does not make sense to me. Marshall -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
