QUESTION: England south Yorkshire thankyou x x

Answer
Ok - Let's see if you can find some Acidophilus - 1 billion CFUs - you should be able to find this at most health food stores.
Give you baby 2-3 per day of the 1 billion CFUs-  If it is an overgrowth of yeast the product will work within 4-5 days.  Later on, you can drop him down to just 1 per day for a lifetime.
This is very safe to give him.

Next, see if you can get some EMT gel for his paws - I am sure you can get this in England - this is a link so you know what I am talking about / It is like an invisible bandage made of collagen- it protects and heals the area.

EMT is at the bottom of this link:
