Probiotics

[hd_darcy]

I have three one-week old silkies, and one is quite smaller than the other two, and has had pasty butt non-stop. And she seems more lethargic too. I trimmed her, and also put some vaseline there to help with that. I have read that probiotics would also be beneficial to her. I have "human" probiotics here at home. Can I just open a capsule and sprinkle it on their food, or does it have to be a special kind, and maybe not so potent? Thanks for any / all help!!

I think that yogurt can be used as a probiotic? I've never used a capsule, before but have given my chicks yogurt.

I would try the yogurt first.
