Is Hydra Care safe for a cat with kidney disease? Specifically, I wonder about the potassium content. Also, Should Hydra Care be fed separately from food? Does feeding it in food or alongside food change its composition enough to affect the hydrating ability (osmolarity)??

Hello, I have been reading up on giving cats with suppressed immune systems probiotics and most say you should not. It also says the same with humans. My vet told me to give it, but I think her immune system is compromised due to long term use of prednisolone (due to intestinal cancer) since she now has what seems to be a cold. I think I am probably making matters worse. What is your opinion? Now I have no idea what to give her for diarrhea. Thank you.?

I mistakenly ordered the canine Fortiflora instead of the feline Fortiflora. Can I use the canine version with my cat and what is the difference? My cat weighs 9 Ibs. if that is relevant.?
-
Judy, The FortiFlora feline and canine products contain the same ratio of nutritional components such as protein, fat and fiber as well as the same inactive ingredients. Also, the same microorganism, Enterococcus faecium, is used at the same concentration for both products. The only difference between the two formulations is the addition of taurine in the feline product. According to the manufacturer, taurine has been added for immune system health. Your veterinarian may have additional information on the product so we do recommend contacting him or her for further advice. Thank you, VetRxDirect

How often do you feed a dog this? Can you give this,say once a week,for preventative reasons..Or,do you just give it when they have diarrhea?..My Yorkie has a very sensitive stomach and the vet has to give us this once about every 6 months.?

Clinical studies for the treatment or prevention of diarrhea with probiotics in veterinary medicine are lacking in general. Most data on prevention and treatment is taken from human clinical studies. Probiotic studies, of varying quality, that have been conducted in cats and dogs show promise in shortening the duration of diarrhea. If the diarrhea appears to be stress related (relates to training, home environment change, etc.), preventative therapy a few weeks ahead of the stress inducing event may be beneficial for your pet. Long-term administration of probiotics for chronic diseases causing diarrhea may also be necessary. For this reason, it is important to consult with your pet’s veterinarian before determining the best treatment option and duration. Thank you, VetRxDirect
