Wilbur's been to the vets again today - his UTI is back & he's passing blood again. He's on baytril 0.2ml twice daily. Previously i've given probiotics along side antibiotics but my vet said to give him probiotic AFTER he'd finished the antibiotic as the antibiotic kills off the probiotic (i think that's the right way round).
It does make sense in my head that if a probiotic puts back good bacteria & antibiotics kill off bacteria; good & bad then all the good the probiotic is doing is being undone to some extent by the antibiotic. Unless of course antibiotics only "attack" bad bacteria :-\
Has anyone else been told this?
