If oral intake good and urine output maintained no need of any probiotic. Just give plenty of liquid.

If consistency is solid no need to worry, even probiotic is not needed. Just keep the diet fibre rich and give him adequate water to drink.
Health Tips
Daily water intake should be around 2 to 3 litres. Give fruits and vegetables daily.
