My two gps are currently on Baytril for a suspected UTI - there was blood in the cage but the urinalysis was negative. When I asked the vet about a probiotic she said it wasn't necessary. A few days later I found mucus in the cage and based on research here & on guinealynx plus advice from this site, I purchased acidophilus.
I found that sprinkling it on some wet veges an hour before giving them the antibiotic worked great for a couple of days but recently one of my girls has stopped eating the veges, especially the ones that have the acidophilus sprinkled on them. I attempted to mix it with water to give it to them via syringe but found that the acidophilus separated from the water.
Are there any other alternatives for giving them the acidophilus? I love the syringe with water idea because one of my girls has possible sludge and doesn't drink enough, am I doing something wrong - is that why it's separating?
The antibiotic is almost done - we have only a few days left. But one of the girls needs to get Actigall for the next two weeks. Since my vet said they didn't need the probiotic, I was wondering if anyone here knew if I should continue with it with the probiotic for the girl who will be taking the Actigall.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
