[Felvtalk] Bene-Bac
Hi all. I have been following this group reguarly since two of my cats got diagnosed with FeLV in January. I currently have 3...the youngest being a year old. When I got him, he had persistant URI's and we treated him with a number of different antibiotics. During this time, he had diarrhea fairly regularly but we didn't think anything of it b/c of the meds. Since he has been off meds, he still has diarrhea and a leaky bum. I have him on a rice and chicken diet right now and just got some bene-bac. My question is how often I should give him the bene-bac and what dosages have worked. He only weighs about 8 pounds. The directions on the tube aren't really that useful and I know a lot of people in this group use it. Thanks in advance!

Some folks, including my holistic vets, recommend pumpkin (pure, not the pie kind) or psyllium for diarrhea. Lots of probiotics too. On May 14, 2009, at 1:58 PM, Carol Tsai Begnoche wrote: Hi all.

Re: [Felvtalk] Bene-Bac
Bene-bac is probiotics... I've used it in the past, but can't give you a recommendation. Think I used 1 morning and one evening, something like that. I do like pumpkin, but I like chicken and rice too. Used the latter for a kitty with an irritated bowel, where I didn't want the fiber of the pumpkin. Worked in that situation, pumpkin works in others.
