Excellent product. Many uses for your fur baby.
My husband and I have 5 rescues, our oldest was recently diagnosed with renal failure and our youngest has a very sensitive stomach. We mix a little into soft food on a regular basis. It smells just like chicken bouillon and I'm guessing that is what entices my oldest to eat (for her we use it to get her to eat more do she gets enough calories). It's also solved a lot of the sensitive stomach issues for our youngest. We don't use a whole packet per day, just a little sprinkle in with some soft food or on top of some very low sodium tuna (Starkist brand - about 2 tablespoons). Our vet was kind enough to let us sample it at first, now we buy it by the box.

Didn't do much for my cat
My kitten of 6 month has been having diarrhea ever since I got him, my vet suggests that the food he was on was too rich and he has a very sensitive tummy. So we tried switching his food to a vet recommended special diet and added fortiflora to his food everyday. He didn't seem to improve much, his diarrhea was still runny its been 2 weeks. The first thing in the ingredients is animal digest, I understand it's probably there to promote eating, but I'm not sure if that's helping with my kitten who's suppose to be on a very strict diet. One thing that baffled me was that this only had one strain of bacteria, and there was no guaranteed analysis of how much bacteria culture is in each pouch. I'm not giving this product a negative review solely because it didn't help my cat, there might be other underlying problems, but I'm just very disappointed that a product suggested by a vet was this low of quality. Now I won't know if probiotics is not helping because my cat has some other health problem or if it's because there's not enough bacteria culture in fortiflora (since I have no idea how much there is) and not enough variety.

Fortiflora helped my senior cat

Good stuff
From UndisclosedComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for Cats 12 SachetsHappy seems to like it. Not as enthusiastic as he was when he first tried it, but he's just like that. I think I'll probably still give him his fluids occasionally, because he doesn't always finish the whole pouch, but I'm glad to have it for him.-

Yes, he doesn't scratch as much, he has allergies.
From UndisclosedComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for CatsOur vet recommended it and he takes the tablet as a treat. He enjoys it and has no problem chewing it. It should be good for him as probiotics are good for humans, too.-

My kitten got into the box... Can they overdose??
-
FortiFlora is a probiotic and contains no active medications, so your cat will not overdose. According to the manufacturer, the primary concern would be your cat ingesting the packaging materials (e.g. box, tape). If packaging materials were ingested, the manufacturer recommends to continue feeding your pet normally and observe them to ensure no intestinal blockage of the packaging materials. Speak to your veterinarian with further concerns.

Just rescued a senior cat with hyperthyroidism and he takes 5 mg Felimazole 2x a day.......he is very skinny and does not eat very much at all.....a friend of mine brought over some Forti Flora and I sprinkled a little on some wet food and he started eating it like crazy (he ate maybe a couple spoons fulls)....and then drank a half of bowl of water....he also acts like he has a sort throat or trouble swallowing...it'll be a little bit before I can get him into the vet....your thoughts?? Thanks for any info, Geri?
-
Hyperthyroidism in cats can cause increased appetite and increased thirst. It can also cause your pet to lose weight. Another side effect of hyperthyroidism is the enlargement of the thyroid gland in the neck. If this gets too enlarged, it may cause your pet to have trouble swallowing. The manufacturer suggests that you consult your veterinarian before giving FortiFlora.
