How do I give my cat probiotics?
To give a cat probiotics, mix the appropriate amount of probiotic powder into warm water below 40 C, stir well, and let the cat lick it directly. If the cat doesn't like water, mix the probiotics with a favorite food such as cat treat paste, canned food, or kibble. Note that probiotics mainly regulate the cat's gut flora and improve digestion, and usually need to be taken continuously for a while before they take effect. In addition, probiotics should be given at least 2-3 hours apart from antibiotics to reduce the antibiotics' impact on probiotic activity.

Vomiting pale yellow fluid for about half a month, but energy is still good
Based on your description, the dog has vomited for about half a month but remains energetic; this is mainly considered to come from diet issues, chronic gastroenteritis, or intestinal parasite infection. If the diet is greasy or hard to digest, it burdens the gut and can trigger vomiting and other digestive problems. Second, chronic gastroenteritis can also cause frequent vomiting; in that case give some anti-inflammatory medicine and probiotics to improve it. In addition, if the dog is infected with internal parasites, the multiplying parasites damage the gut environment and cause vomiting. Find the cause of the vomiting first so you can apply the right treatment.
