Hm, I also thought probiotics are good for protecting your stomach during a course of antibiotics. I eat plain yoghurt regularly and sometimes also drink kefir. Hope it’s not interfering with the treatment.
Will ask the doctor — if I get to see him later this year :rolleyes:
I'm sure you can find the answer on google :D

That's wrong I think. The probiotics can interfere with the antibiotics. Take them as soon as you have finished the course I was told... or eat natural yoghurt after you finish the course. You need those pills to work on the right thing.
In SA they always say you should take it with the antibiotics. The antibiotics destroys the good bacteria and the probiotics voids that. It also helps woman especially as quite often you can get thrush from the antibiotics. A good couple of years ago I was on an antibiotic for 6 months. So now whenever I take antibiotics I must take a tablet for thrush and the probiotic so I don't get thrush. Otherwise it is guaranteed I will get thrush.

Probiotics can be taken together with antibiotics as far as I know, but some antibiotics do not work well when you drink milk or eat yoghurt or kefir.
Probiotics and antibiotics should not be "eaten" at the same time. There should be some hours between the intake these two meds.
Probiotics protect the intestine, the good bacterias there.
Please ask the doctor how to use the antibiotics right.

Good evening roommates, today I got the result of the blood work from my cat Monty.
All parameters are well, that means, liver, kidneys and the thyroid are working well but there is another problem I had feared. The brother of Monty died with only 2 years because of this desease

I always feared and know that Monty is a carrier for this virus too and some day it might break out. It seems that the day X has come.
Losing weight is a bad sign.
Nobody can say how long Monty has to live. It makes me sad losing one cat or dog after another, but that is life, I know, but knowing makes it not easier.

I am sorry to read about your Father. I hope he gets better soon and that the new meds work.

Thank you, Carol![emoji2][emoji173]️
But to be honest, we “lost” him over 5 years ago when he couldn’t recognize us very often and his personality started changing.
I appreciate your love and support, but I’m really ok. [emoji846][emoji106]

Oh no, this is so sad. Hugs, Bee. Spoil him. Cats want to feel loved, especially when sick. You’re the best cat mom he could ever wish for. :<3:

Oh no!!! I am so sorry Sabine. That is a hard thing to have to deal with. I hope your Kitty is not in any pain?

Good morning all. I hope you all have a wonderful, wibbling Friday in your corner of this planet (or another planet if you’re so inclined :D )
Good Morning Linda,

Lol are you saying that some of the roommates could be aliens posing as humans on the forum?
