Probiotics

[The Chequered Hero]

Hi.

My guinea pig Blossom has some kind of a problem with her gut, and it looks like she will have to be on Septrin most of the time for the rest of her life. My vet has advised that I give her a probiotic to restore the beneficial bacteria. Can anyone recommend one and a website to buy it from?

Thanks.

I recommend a web site called the hay experts. They sell probitocs. I am very sorry to hear about her problem.

Thanks for the pointers!

Blossom is about 17 months old and I nearly lost her recently because of this problem, which she has had most of her life. She had got very thin. Back on Septrin though she turned the corner and is now doing pretty good and she is already back to an acceptable weight.

It is great to hear she is doing well now.
