Carbs in Imuquin?

[AliceMeowliss (GA)]

My veterinarian gave me a couple weeks of this to try with my diabetic because she is having an undetermined foul poop imbalance/issue.
Is this particularly high carb? Ingredients include starch but do not specify what kind.
Would appreciate any input, thanks!

(PS her SS is behind, sorry!)

Sorry for no one have helped you.

Starch is converted into sugars in the body, but that doesn't contain so much it matters.

Is it an intestinal anaerobic bacterial and aerobic bacterial imbalance she has?

Starch is quite far down the list of ingredients. Their website has a contact form: https://www.nutramaxlabs.com/contact-us-animal-health

Did your vet say why this would help with smelly poop? I would think a probiotic would be more helpful.

Did you change Alice's food or the kind of protein you're feeding her?

She is having increased diarrhea/poor fecal score and has had smelly smelly poops for so long now, and I haven’t changed her food at all. Sometimes she almost has normal ish poops. I think it’s also maybe a bit worse when her sugar is higher. We thought it was worth a try. Do you think it would cause much harm to try it?

I'm not at all familiar with the product so I'm hesitant to make any judgment.

What I would try is S. boulardii. It's a probiotic (humans use it, as well) that is excellent at dealing with diarrhea. I use the ReNew brand and purchase via Amazon. You start with 1/4 of a capsule. Give it a day or two and then if there's not enough improvement, increase to 1/2 capsule. This link has information on managing diarrhea.
