The shelter though he was about 9 weeks at the time making him about 15 now. My vet thinks he’s older than that (17-18 weeks) but we don’t know for sure as he was...

    Probiotics... To Fortiflora Or Not

    My 3 senior-ish boys (13,12.5 and 11.5) all developed some tummy issues lately resulting in diarrhea. They have been checked out by the Vet and they found nothing. We think it was due to stress as “mommy” went away on vacation and left them with the cat sitter . The vet put them on Fortiflora...
