Giving Fibreplex & advice on ProC

Hey

Molly's on a course of anitbiotics, so I asked the vet if she should be having probiotics, and the vet got me some Fibreplex. I've heard of it but I've never used it before. Is it ok to put onto a SS pellet? I'm only planning to feed her for 2 days (2mls 3 times a day) just to help her gut a little. As she seems to be on antibiotics most of the time lately, should she be having a more regular probiotics, such as ProC? I've read this has to be put in drinking water. Is it ok for non-medicated rabbits to have the same water (ie Milly)?
 
Don't know about the other probiotics, but Barney takes fibreplex straight from the syringe, he goes mad for it, its carrot flavour.
 
giving some on an ss pellet is fine but you wont get anywhere near enuogh on one

you could try putting it on a basil leaf or something similar.

re the proc ive not heard of it, so cant really comment.
 
Pro C

Hi,

My bunny who has had long term gastric problems has pro c in her water daily. I just add a spoonful to every 300ml of water. She loves the taste of it so much she won't drink water without it:lol: You can buy it at some large pet shops and online.
 
Even my quiet friendly bunny wouldn't take Fibreplex. I resorted to painting it on to their paws and front, so they'd lick it off when washing themselves after medicating.
My two both much prefer Bio-Lapis probiotic powder. I put it on their pellets and they even lick the remaining powder out of the bowl once the pellets are gone. I also used to put it in their water, but stopped as they were more than happy to take it with pellets.
