Hi All,
Saturday I had to take 3 of my 7 cats to the vet. My kitten Sophie 4 mo, only needed the last of her vaccinations, Ryan 2 yo, who had a bald spot on his shoulder and Sally 8 yo who has been diarrhea for 2 weeks now. I dropped off a poo sample during the week for Sally so we could get the results on Saturday. Sally has no worms or parasites and the vet started her on a probiotic called Fortiflora by Purina, one packet per day.
Has anyone ever used a probiotic before with their cats? The vet told me to mix on packet a day into her canned food. Since we are a family of 7, 6 cats and 1 kitten, she told me it was ok if the other cats ate Sally's food. So for the last 3 days Sally has been eating this probiotic. My vet also told me to take Sally off of all beef and seafood as well and stick to turkey and chicken canned food. I have no experience with probiotics so I would like to hear from those of you who do. Thanks, Rose
