he's on antibiotics for 10days. we don't normally give a probiotic during medication, but i have some avipro plus in that i got for maisie piggy so wondered if i should?

our vet said there's no evidence probiotics work for rabbits, but there's also no harm giving one if that's what people want to do and feel that they do work.

thanks :wave:

eta: he's still on half a teaspoon of profibre pellets at the moment so this might be enough anyway???
 
My specialist thinks they work, he told me to put Doughnut on Avipro plus which I did. I put a pinch over the food.
 
i'm not sure what to do... as usual :oops: i might up his profibre to one teaspoon just for the meds course for now. i could always try the avipro if i feel he needs it. i don't really want to give both at once.. but i fear for my life if he doesn't have any profibre :shock:
 
Normally yes I would use a probiotic like aviopro or biolapsis, but am I right in thinking Bisc's tum is a bit sensitive? In which case I would stick with the profibre that he's used to as it has a probiotic in it anyway.

yes his tummy is sensitive, which worries me when considering giving him something new. think we'll stick with the profibre. he seems fine for now anyway. thanks :wave:
