Hey guys this post will have a lot of questions but I have been mentally preparing myself for my kitties clostridium to return after treatment since that seems to be a pretty common trend and I have a feeling my boy has dysbiosis. For anyone who has kitties who had clostridium regrow or their kitty has leaky gut( I don’t believe my cat has SIBO but haven’t fully tested for that yet) I have the following questions because I am going to try like hell to heal my cats gut ( I really don’t wanna keep him on antibiotics but if that’s what has been the solution for you all in this situation please tell me) but I have a lot of thoughts and need your help!
1) my cat is on proviable dc once a day,three hours after his meds. Is proviable able to be given more than once a day or should I just switch to a stronger, better probiotic? I just bought 15 billion renew life just in case? Should I go with a stronger probiotic?
2) prebiotics and digestive enzymes: should I use these as well to help heal the bad balance of bacteria in the gut? Don’t know much about either so for those who use them, Why? My cat doesn’t show a pancreas issue in his lab
3) my cat has bad gas which is from the bad bacteria I assume, for those who have cats with gas what do you give them to help?
4) slippery elm, I am using this but not sure I am giving at the best time or enough. When should I be giving this and how often if I am trying to heal him. If he won’t eat it in his food, are the healing effects just as good with the syringed gruel? And can I give the gruel with the probiotic or do those need to be given separately(can I mix and syringe them together? Or should I give SEB at different times in the day)
LASTLY 5) S Bouliardi has proven pretty effective with clostridium but I have never given it to my cat because a year ago his allergy blood test showed he was very allergic to yeast. Do you think I could still try to give this in a small amount to start? Or should I just avoid it with the risk of a yeast reaction?
Anything else you do to heal your kitties guts please tell me because I’m going hysterical and crying all the time thinking my kitty has something I can’t get rid of and makes him miserable. I am trying to piece together my knowledge and have been extensively reading through past posts to learn. I need to switch vets or to a specialist because my vet knows nothing about any of this stuff and I am scared and just need a place to start.
Thanks all in advance for reading
