I bought Psyllium husk powder to use as a prebiotic, does anyone have some advise on the starting dose? @Wendy&Neko @tiffmaxee

Psyllium husk is fibre that is used for constipation. I'm not sure it is good to use for diarrhea. The starting dose is 1/8th spoon once a day.

I was also waiting until tomorrow morning to increase after the 62 on 11/24, but should I wait or could I increase this PM? @Bandit's Mom

Oh, well Nao is not constipated or with diarrhea, I just wanted to add a good prebiotic in his diet! But thanks for the info :)

Will do! Do you think I should add a snack at +1 or not yet? Even when he's high he tends to drop a lot by +2, I don't know if that's contributing to the higher pre-shots
 
Psyllium husk should be started at a very low dose, then built up. I had it recommended by an IM vet for general gut health in my IBD kitty.

Yes, I would like to improve Nao's gut health. Would 1/8 tsp be okay to start? I've also read of a few members who use a pinch
