probiotics

Hi Everyone, Our guinea pig (male, 2,5 years old) got antibiotics for 7 days (Enrofloxacin 0,15ml / day) due to occasional sneezing and stuffy nose. Two weeks after the antibiotics he started producing squishy, teardrop poops. Since then we give him probiotics (Bio-Lapis) one pack per day...

Hey! My guinea pig Pumpkin just turned 3. I took her and her cagemate to the vet because some of the poops were looking concerning. I wasn't able to go in, so I dropped them off. My vet called me and said that she saw concerning stuff in her eyes and recommened some treatments. She believed it...

Hey all, I'm new to the guinea pig forum and ive currently rekindled my love for guinea pigs. This post is going to be fairly long so sorry in advance :) I bought 2 little boars just over a week a go from p@h, which ive recently found out are notorious for bad animal welfare. One of my boys...

A little while ago, I’ve posted that one of my girls has weird poops. They had a slight point to them and lately I’ve noticed even weirder poops in their cage. I will include a picture. I seen that it could be dehydration but I’ve seen them both drinking. It seems like their water bottle has not...

So far I have spent nearly twelve hundred dollars at this vet's office trying to clear my two guinea pigs of what the vet said was streptoccal pneumonia. She also said the tests claimed the bacteria was tested not to be resisted to the antibiotics she gave me. After two rounds of antibiotics in...

So my guinea pig is on antibiotics and I've been giving him smashed up healthy guinea pig poo as a probiotic. As I was scrolling around on the website I order most of my pet supplies off of I came across this product. Has anyone ever used it or do you think it is ok to use? I'm asking because...
