What we have done is to split the daily amount into quarters and that makes him not notice it. Also immediately stopped the diarrhea so we had to persist.
Right, ok. We can't get that here on Amazon Canada.
But the reason the 50 capsule tray is excessive for us is because we'll maybe use S Boulardii to get over a bout of diarrhea and use it for maybe 3-4 days. So we'll never need to prep 50 capsules. We just don't use SB that often.
Yeah, the other problem we're having which I haven't yet mentioned is that no sooner did we start giving the S Boulardii and seeing results than he started to notice it in the food and stop eating if he smelled it.
We hid it successfully with Creamy treats. The Creamy treats caused the...
Related...ish question. I doubt that it's necessary to start a whole new thread for this because we're talking about S Boulardii already but please let me know if I've crossed a line.
Can S. Boulardii be given while giving Probiotics (we use Fera Pet Organics) or is that provoking bad gut flora...
Ok, my bad everyone.. I thought I had copied the link into the forum in post #35. I clearly didn't.
Here you go: Saccharomyces Boulardii Supplement | Veg Capsules | NOW (nowfoods.com)
Well, I can't really do that as the article doesn't talk about the 500mg pills I showed above that I bought.
I have absolutely no idea. The info from the bottle is right there in the link I posted. There is nothing in the capsule other than S Boulardii.
Has no one ever seen a pill like this before?
This is the product we bought. By their usage guidelines, they say a serving is two pills and constitutes 1000mg which accounts for 10 billion CFU. So, for this product, 5billion CFU is one 500mg pill. I measured the pill contents, it's 500mg.
We just got some S. Boulardii and it says each 5 billion CFU pill has 500mg. I opened it and weighed it on our small quantities scale and it does. So I guess that means that regardless of how this pill is made up, to give him 5billion CFU per day in 500mg pills means to give him 250mg twice per...
So, if I 'm understanding correctly, there is no need to buy a product branded towards cats? You can just take any S. Boulardii and just make sure you're only giving the dosage in grams appropriate for a cat?
I'll try to be brief to not bog the question down with details.
But I should preface this now with the following to just not waste certain people's time...
We will not under any circumstances feed our cat dry food.
We will not feed him commercial brands full of gums and nameless things like...
Just reporting that everything is still ok.
During this process we've also switched to a new litter, though this wasn't a factor in the initial issues and resolution. There is a degree to which the cats' better relations have improved things in all parts of our home, but I think the adding of a...
Ok, everyone. Update.
We took, as we had mentioned, our travel litter. It's a smaller litter that fits in the car and that we keep for when we go on trips with the cats anywhere (...to be honest we haven't gone on any trips in years but when we've moved twice it's been what we've used during...
I hadn't said :) he's 11 and it's for the last year that it's been a thing that will appear for a few weeks and then go away again. I would say he did it for the first time 2 years ago in a different place. It's been more recently which has coincided with being in a bigger apartment we moved to...
