Antibiotics
These may seem silly questions, but due to a skin spot/infection they've put my pup on 750mg antibiotics, twice a day, so now I'm wondering...
a-- Will this cause potty issues? If so, any advice on what to give her to help that not be the case so much?
b-- How likely is it she'll get a yeast infection? I know dogs can get them, but I think? it's usually young pups? Again, any advice?
Megan is a 65 pit bull mix. The lesions are on the left side of her face; one along her cheek and another above her eyebrow--they are "my face will fit under this fence, oh, no it doesn't, here let me dig a little, how about now? Nope, still doesn't fit" over and over spots.
For both things, I'm thinking yogurt... but I don't know if I can get her to eat plain unflavored yogurt, and I don't know if the sugar in other yogurt doesn't outweigh the benefit.

no subject
None of our dogs ever developed yeast infections from antibiotics - all adults when they were on them.
We never fed them anything other than their regular food when they were taking them.
