She has an URI and was given an anti-bio and is now on oral...
My question is that I know for humans eating yogurt helps replace the
good flura killed by anti-bios. Is it safe to feed a cat yogurt for the
same reason??

Absolutely. Or any other probiotic.

The cat may not want to eat the Yogurt (which MUST be "live culture"
yogurt to work). I use acidophulis powder. You can buy capsules at a
health food store or some large super markets. Open the capsule and mix
the powder in canned food. It has no taste so the cat will still eat
the food. I recently had to use this because Amber was on Clavamox
(dental cleaning). Since the two cats keep switching food dishes, Tiger
got the powder too. No problem.
