I'm making this a new thread because I thought it would be helpful for others with similar questions.

I have been giving my pigs 1/2 tsp of Bene-Bac (powder) after each dose of antibiotic. They get two doses a day. I just found out that I was supposed to be giving them 1/2 tsp in total - so like 1/4 tsp after each dose of antibiotic. Is it possible to overdose pigs this way? Should I cut down now or just keep going? Alfie had GI stasis for the first bit of his treatment and it has just started to go away, I'm scared to cut down on the probiotic and make it worse again.

Watch out for loose stool.
I'd go to the recommended amount but that's me.
