Emergency substitute for Bene-Bac

[AnnaLease]

I am going to order some Bene-Bac for a doe that has digestive problems. Is there a homemade substitute that I can use right now until I get the Bene-Bac? Like yogurt? (I would use my homemade raw goat milk yogurt.) Any other home remedies? Thanks!

Yes, yogurt, but in small doses. (Like a couple ml.) Do you have anything fermented in your house, like old-fashioned saurkraut? A tiny bit of that might help too.

Depending on the particular issue, you may want to give a tiny bit of Gas-x (simethicone). Or add fiber to her diet. Or get her to drink a couple ml of oil if she's stopped up.

Hope that helps!

OK, thanks.
