Probiotic Q please

[Poppy'sMum]

Could anyone recommend a probiotic for me? Is it best to keep some handy or only buy when piggies are poorly? I'm asking because I don't know how long the use by dates are on these usually?

Is this the right Fibreplex?

Or if anyone can have a look on that site & recommend me one I would be grateful. Thanks!

Apparently Pratts At Home have some that you can use. I need to go and get some for Charlie. x

I use Pro-C which they sell in pets at home, mainly because it contains extra Vit C and the only time ive needed it is for soft poos (which means veg needs to be cut out so extra bit C is needed!) Its a pretty reasonable price for a large pot. Although i do hate buying from them (i bought it in an emergency) and intend to look elsewhere in the future.

I've used Fibreplex a couple of times, as recommended and prescribed by my vet. Its really easy to use.

Yep!

You can also get Supreme Recovery Plus (new product in a purple box) or Oxbow Cavy Cuisine which are both liquid food with added probioitics and vitamins

Guinea pig poop soup can also be use - poos from healthy piggies ground up with pellets in water >>>

If you don't want to give p@h your money, you can get 2 different types of probiotics from the hay experts (https://www.thehayexperts.co.uk/%252B+The+Medicine+Chest+%252B.161/)
They also sell Recovery (but not the Recovery plus) and Critical Care.

I love their website. They are not cheap, but have a great selection of all things guinea-related and deliver really quickly.

Thanks Little Pig. I didn't know that the Hay Experts sell the same probiotic as PAH (Vetark Pro-C) - that's really useful to know.
