puppy ate 1 probiotic..

sweetyjenj

we have a 10wk, 25lbs puppy and i dropped one probiotic on the ground while trying to take some and he snatched it up and ate it.  Do you think this is going to be fine?

Yes, probiotics are actually helpful for dogs and puppies, I give them daily and did when my dog was a young puppy.  However, given that you didn't increase it gradually and his system won't be used to it, he might have diarrhea or digestive issues.  I would just monitor him

Probably, since some vets actually give their patients probiotics. Depending on what it is, though, you may get some interesting poop. I'd keep an eye on the back end of that dog if I were you.
