Lyme Disease and Probiotics



Hello all,
I posted a question a few weeks back about Lyme disease but didn't 
see any responses.  Perhaps I jinxed my horse because - guess what- 
she was just diagnosed with Lyme disease.  We are starting her today 
on massive doses of antibiotics, orally.  If the titer does not come 
down, we will have to administer them 2x day via IV.   She is lame in 
the hind end, just ouchy looking, which may or may not be due to the 
Lyme.  So, I'll ask again, anybody have any experience with Lyme 
disease and can someone recommend a brand of Probiotic to use 
concomitantly with the doxycyclian?  She is on stall rest with 
hand walking for the next week, since she has insisted upon running 
herself about with the rest of the horses despite the lameness.  I am 
afraid of colic and am hoping the probiotics will lend some 
protection.  Thoughts??  Help!!!

Thanks from Klassy and Beth
