@@MothGirl007 Can this be confirmed? If that's true, that's too bad. I hope it was an amicable decision. But all good things must eventually come to an end I suppose. We were very lucky to have Mallory as long as we did (and so were our cats!). She was truly a gift! Maybe she decided to go back to writing instead. In any case, she will be missed around here... Sarah and Gordon seem pretty cool too, though. Good luck to them!
So my cat has pancreatitis for over 3 years. Winston is on Gastrointestinal royal canin wet and dry food. He is also on Provible-forte 10 billion probiotics. This was a game changer for my kitty. He had 4 major flare ups in 7 months, 2 of the flare ups he had to be hospitalized for. He kept having flare ups over the next 4 months. I had meds to deal with the flare ups, but I didn’t just want to control the flare ups, but to stop them. That’s when adding the Provible-forte was the game changer. So after 9 months of dealing with his pancreatitis with 4 major flare ups, we started him on Provible-forte. He has lost over 4 pounds during this time. Started the probiotic the first week in January and he was eating up a storm, not throwing up and after six weeks, he gained all his weight back and was back to his usual self. It’s now been over three years with dealing with us and he is doing great. But I’d like to mention an experiment I did. I put them on Provible-dc last summer. Thinking that maybe he does not need the 10 billion and lower it to 5 billion. Oh boy was I wrong. First day OK second day throw up third day throw up so back on the provable forte 10 billion.. pancreatitis is a nasty disease but so far the last three years we have been handling it and he has just turned 14 years old. He very picky so I just open the capsule and mix it with his wet food. He is fed 1 teaspoons of wet food every 2 -3 hours of otherwise if you give him more he will throw it up. Fresh water and dry food is out all the time. He is 11pounds and gets on tin sometimes more of the gastrointestinal royal canin food. Long post but hope this helps with kitties with for. Works for my cat. Oh and no treats except Winston gets 2 at bedtime.
Our Boudie LOVES Fortiflora and it has helped her out so much. She gets them a few times a week on her food, and gets suoer excited when we tell her it's time for "sprinkle spronkles" 😂
I had trouble getting my cat eating any food with the powder mixed in. What I ended up doing is mixing a proviableDC capsule in a shot glass with 0.5ml. water. The solution goes into an oral syringe and into my cat. It works very well and I'm always reassured that my cat is getting all of the dose (as opposed to the traditional method of hoping he eats his entire meal from a dish)
@@lightsout176 Yes, everyday... I used to mix it in a mousse treat at first, but it wasn't fool-proof. You know how cats are, if one day they detect the medicine in the mousse, they'll wont finish it; And since I have more than one cat, when doing the mousse method, I had to watch that the cat eats it all in case the other cat swoops in and eats the remainder. The benefit of mixing it all in an oral syringe is that I can be assured that my cat is consuming all the medicine, every time; Zero hassle; Nothing is wasted. Mixing the powders together in an oral syringe really is no biggie, I can prep it all in less than 5min. It's very easy.
My cat had bad giardia for a long time and, thanks to that, she has a VERY sensitive gut. I love Fera but it gave her explosive diarrhea and wasn't improving over time, even only giving her a little bit at a time slowly over time. She's on Proviable and is doing very well, but she's also my special weirdo and likes to eat it as a pull. My vet advised against sprinkling it over food because it means the cat might not get the full dose or too much all at once. Can recommend!
This is a very strange video. Its a taste test with nothing to do with effectiveness or quality of the product. No information on why cats might need this or when to use. Nothing on how various strains help with different challenges. Its not actually a helpful video. Really disappointing for this channel.
Thats because most people understand probiotic. You also can talk to your vet. In general cats can have digestive issues. Hence the probiotics help. The variety depends on your cats needs.
What about Adorned Beast, it’s from Nova Scotia, Canada. In powdered form a variety of different strains depending on your pet. I keep mine in the fridge. Powdered goats milk mixed with water is good for younger cats too.
Thank you so much for such in detail walk-through of different brands. I always wondered which are the best. And although you touch upon the price, form they come in and reaction of your kitty - do you know if any of these are actually viable probiotics? Have you guys sent any of them to a lab, to verify they do have what they claim?
My cat loves the "VetriScience Probiotic Everyday Duck Flavored Soft Chews". It helps him A LOT with digestion. He will not eat any wet food I leave for him and is not food driven. It's the one tension point in our relationship lol so the probiotics help a lot and he also has a water fountain he loves so that helps :). I am hoping one day he will like wet food.
Why doesn’t she introduce herself since there is no Mallory? Honestly I’m not watching the whole thing….it is like a commercial without Mallory and very impersonal.
My Grey girl got sick a couple of years ago stuff comming out both ends. Vet prescribed the Fortaflora. She has been on it for 3 years now. After i started, only a very occasional hair ball every 2 mo aprox and she is a cleaning machine, Fur got much nicer fuller. I found 2x a day may constipate her so i give it once per day (in evening). So it lastes 2 months.
Gordon didn't look like he turned any food away. Just like my kitty. I don't think my kitty needs extra help pooping yet. But good to no that this stuff is out there for kitty's.
#Cats - Dear Cats: my Veterinarian here in South America says dry food is okay... but i had both my cats tested and they are constantly slightly dehydrated. - I am concerned that this will continue for years and that they will develop disease or die prematurely. - Also: I'm seeing and reading other sources that claim dry food is BAD for cats. - Can you please point me to a proper video of yours or talk about this issue, please? - Should I switch to wet food now? Or is the Vet correct and a little dehyrdation is nothing to worry about? (He's seen the bloodwork of both cats). He says their red blood cells are deforming slightly...
Love the Bark and Whiskers. I do not use the scoop. I use measuring spoons to get the same amount every time. I started with a small amount to see how they tolerated it. I don't mind mixing it in.
@@thewandies I started with 1/8 of tsp and worked up from there. She is currently on 1/4 of tsp twice a day, but I started her at 1/8 tsp once a day. She has a very sensitive system so I always start slowly. I tried another probiotic and it gave her diarrhea even at half an 1/8 tsp.Does not mean it was a bad product just not appropriate for this cat.
Thanks for the review. But it would be nice if you could summarize the info in a downloadable chart, or show one to the camera so we can take a screenshot.
Hi Doctor my 14.6 yo male cat got poisoned in Nov 2023. We think he might of gotten into rat bait outside. He got acute pancreatitis and recovered from that loosing 4 lbs. Then the constipation started & vet did enema. Kitty has been up & down. Vet gave him pain shot that lasts month & prescribed Hills digestive diet. He takes Miralax too. Do you recommend Vera for such a cat? Thank you! ❤
It would be best to talk to your vet about your cat's specific situation. You can also post a question on our forum and one of our vets typically replies in 2-3 days. cats.com/community/forums
I hope masagot po tanong ko.. Lahat po ba ng brand ng probiotics na yan pwede po for 2 month old kitten? Nagtatae po kasi and metronidazole antibiotic na binigay nung vet po nila pero I think di nila kinakaya yung antibiotic kasi mas lumala😭 pwede po ba for kittens yan??
