As Poppy is on antibiotics I wanted to give her guts some protection - the last thing she needs is stasis on top of her potential lower respiratory infection.
I've not given my buns injectable abx before but believe there is still 'some' risk to caecal flora, although obviously less so than oral abx.
For the last 3 days she's been having what I usually give - Fibreplex. But the info sheet states 1-2 days course. Does anyone else give Fibreplex long term without issue or been advised to do so?
I bought some biolapis - as felt this would be an easier one to use long term but she jumps away if she smells it in her water. I persisted for an hour but finally decided that as she clearly wanted to drink keeping her hydrated, esp important in respiratory infections I have read, was more important. So today we tried biolapis in syringe flavoured with dilute apple juice - tested it on Nino...but then Nino would take arsenic in a syringe if i offered it to him! :roll::lol: Again, Poppy no luck, she's not interested at all.
Anyone have success with Avipro? Is it considered better for 'long term' use than fibreplex?
Thank you in advance
