Do parakeets need anything given to them after antibiotic treatment?

I read somewhere that they need something (like Bene-Bac?) to replace the healthy bacteria in their digestive systems. If it's not true, can I resume the normal vitamin supplements?
Answers:
If you are feeding your bird right, you shouldn't need any vitamin supplements. Besides anything you put in the water breeds bacteria 20 mins after you put it in the water any way!
Feed veggies and add some yogurt once a week to the veggies and that will give the bird enough gram pos rods to keep them good.
Benebac should have been given while it was on antibotics not now, geesh!!
Good Luck!

  1. Can birds eat yogurt?! I read everywhere that you shoudlnt give them any sort of milk-based food.
