I read about Acidophilus being used a few days prior and post a spay/neuter surgery on the HRS website, I'm just not sure what kind to use and if the human kind would be safe for bunny?? anybody??:dunno:thanks:
i will have to point you to a website rabbit secrets,,using your search engine,ie.google--read the writings of glen livingston phd--yogurt is not recommended for use in rabbits,,however probiotics like benebac,,probios does contain lactobacillius acidophilus,,i believe they are different ,,,sincerely james waller:wave::rose:I read about Acidophilus being used a few days prior and post a spay/neuter surgery on the HRS website, I'm just not sure what kind to use and if the human kind would be safe for bunny?? anybody??:dunno:thanks:
antibiotics kill bacteria (good and bad)-rabbits are rear gut fermenters,-,with gi-tract(flora-bacterias)-kept in a delicate balance for digestion-((of non digestible fiber(hay)-,therefore probiotics are indicated.//.,none of the above animals are rear gut fermenters--nor even a simular gi tract as a rabbit..-probiotics may even be ill advised / unlessindicated by a dvm specialist...sincerely james waller:rose:I have a bottle of acidophilus that I bought at the local pharmacy for my guinea pigs (if they are being treated with antibiotics) I would think you could use the same thing for rabbits. I have the capsules so you can open them and sprinkle on food or mix with water, juice etc.
I think most others here use Benebacsold for kittens or birds. I'm suresomeone elsewhohas used it can clarify for you.
I'm wondering whythey suggest using this prior to a spay or neuter?
