Has anyone ever used Psyllium husk powder to help normalize their beardies bowel movements? Is it okay to use, did it work?
Its a natural remedy so I'm inclined to think its okay and they sell it on beardeddragon.co.
Any input on this is appreciated. thanks.

I use a probiotic occasionally for mine. I got it from beardeddragon.co I like to use it when they seem a little off or they are on meds for something.

Im using a probiotic right now. Been sprinkling it on her veggies that she eats twice a day every day. It doesn't seem to be helping quite like id hoped. She's taking baytril right now for a respiratory infection. How much probiotic should she be getting daily do you think?

I do one meal a day dusted everyday during treatment. I use 1/8th of a tsp.
