My cat LOVES this stuff! April 2, 2008
My cat LOVES this stuff! It's a great "bribe" to get him to eat. I could sprinkle this on rocks and he'd eat them. But even better is that it does work to combat diarrhea. His BMs firmed up quick with this. In general he is a much happier and energetic cat since I've started giving him this. Buying from Amazon saves a trip to my vet (who isn't close). I think it's retarded that you can't easily buy this at Petco or other pet stores. I don't even think 1-800 Pet Meds had it when I checked... Thanks Amazon!
Wonder Drug!! Great for IBS! November 5, 2007

My IBS cat has had a problem with chronic diarrhea for 10 years. 4 vets later, vet #4 gave us some of this. My cat has not had diarrhea for a month now and is more active than I have seen her in a long time. I will be buying more to keep on hand.
If you can't mix it with wet food (wet food makes her diarrhea worse) then mix it with cottage cheese. Sounds weird, but my vet suggested it and it worked. Cottage cheese is on the bland diet sometimes prescribed.
Restorative, palatable probiotic indeed! September 20, 2007

I had a cat suffering from pancreatitis due to a diet change, producing diahrrea, lack of eating/drinking, lethargy, and weepy eyes. This product changed her with just one dose.
I understand we aren't supposed to use this product beyond the prescription of antibiotics, but it's only a probiotic like humans take--so why not? Then, I realized that the PRObiotic is supposed to counter the effects of the ANTIbiotic (which is to remove all bacteria from the system). Plus, this stuff is beef-flavored, which makes it palatabe to one and all--they used to make the antibiotics beef-flavored, but not any more.
Yogurt is not advised for cats, as they cannot digest milk proteins and lactose, making them "lactose intolerant." My sick cat in question is also diabetic, making sugars a problem to start with.
I will consult my vet before buying this stuff to keep around the house for occasional diahrrea episodes--I'd like to make this my Pepto-Bismol for cats.
Hero product of our week! August 19, 2007

Our Veterinarian sold us packets of this wonderful powder this week. My kitty is healing from an infected wound that was irrigated and drained. Her liquid antibiotic not only tastes nasty but it was nauseating and caused diarrhea. Poor kitty was throwing up and having diarrhea! One packet of this wonder stuff later, no more diarrhea and no more throwing up! She gained a half pound in just a few days. Yea!!! We're using a packet a day as long as she receives the antibiotic. I love this stuff!
