We are having mixed stools today and went two times to the potty already. So disappointed.

Hopefully we manage to stop the runs and get back on track. I have a feeling that his BG will be lower today.
 
Two loose stool - I see lower numbers. It must be some influence, his BG going down because of it. Not much, as the poo is not too soft, but still.

Does Porto get any probiotics?

Hi. No, he doesnt. We tried once with boulardii but a bit later after administering with food, he ran to the litter box and had a loose stool. Im cautious in trying again, maybe probiotics is not for him. We tried fortiflora a couple of years back and I think it gave some results but his health and his tummy were less problematic.
 
Should I try again? When is best to try? When ok stool or when he has loose stools? When he has good poo, I am afraid to try to not cause problems. And then, when he goes soft, I am wary of trying to not cause more damage....

Bronx gets 1/2 capsule RenewLife human probiotics in the morn & 1 tsp of Kefir at night. He does not have a diarrhea problem but a constipation problem. However, I have heard probiotics can help both conditions.

Did you try any other probiotics before finding this one that works for him? I am glad it works for your boy! I have bought some kefir, it is like yogurt, right? Maybe I can try with that.

It's more like thick milk. Bronx will eat it mixed with his food and liked the full-fat version the best

@Bronx's dad Do you sprinkle the Renew Life capsule contents over his food or transfer to some type of kitty capsule? Bama has a problem with constipation and hairballs. I want to try probiotics. He's already eating pumpkin but I can't tell that it helps.

I open up a capsule and sprinkle half in his wet food & then save the other half for another day. Kefir works well too and Bronx likes the taste. Also, Lactulose can do wonders but a script is needed.
 
Jones gets S. boulardii twice a day 1/4 capsule. I have also tried the SEB but the timing with working and his other meds is tough as it can't be give 2 hours before or after other medication.

Not sure if any one reference this site for you or not Manu. Some helpful information in there. http://www.ibdkitties.net/

You introduced the bude 6-7 days ago right? My vet told me 2 weeks - give anything 2 weeks before trying something new. So keeping Porto's food the same and giving the bude, I think needs another week to determine if you need to add something in. If he is still having issues then try the probiotic.
