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.

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
