Just wondering if anyone has thoughts on switching from one probiotic to another. My kitty has been Proviable for years and I am thinking of switching to Visbiome. Not sure whether it's a good idea to switch suddenly or to wean off the one while weaning on the other.
I would suggest asking your vet about getting an ultrasound by someone who is experienced in feline ultrasound technique i.e. typically not by a general vet with the machine they have in their clinics. The US can measure intestinal wall thickness etc. which I believe would be useful in making a...
Long standing intermittent diarrhea. On long term Proviable. A vet in the US suggested trying a higher end probiotic like VSL3. I believe Visbiome for pets is the same but I can’t find them in Canada.
