Baytril and nasty poops

[Lady Flashheart]

Hi all

New time member, long time listener/reading things via Google search results here. Please forgive the lack of intro thread, I promise I'll do one later...but at the moment I need a bit of advice about my lovely lad George's poop.

George was neutered almost four weeks ago, all went well, recovering fine, until last Monday I found a little lump. Off we went back to the vets and he has a small abscess, and is on baytril twice a day. I had a niggly feeling he may need probiotics as well as he is a bit of a sensitive sole, and lo and behold tonight I've found some yellowish poo that smells like pure evil on its way out...am I right and are probiotics the next best step? If so, what am I after?

Thank you!

Baytril kills the good and bad bacteria in the gut and some piggies don’t react well to it. It’s recommended you give the piggy a probiotic either 2 hours before, or 2 hours after the baytril. Let me find the link for you re probiotics.

Amazing thank you! Fortunately we have a PAH very locally so I'll nip in tomorrow and get some of the one they sell. Thank you very much for the quick response

Hope he starts feeling better soon.

Hope all goes well! I have a piggie who just started baytril on Friday. So far no weird poops, but I wondered about a probiotic too (us humans are big on the probiotics here...).
I have a syringe of Benebac here from another vet trip. Wondering if I can just give her some
