My kitten got into the box... Can they overdose??
-
FortiFlora is a probiotic and contains no active medications, so your cat will not overdose. According to the manufacturer, the primary concern would be your cat ingesting the packaging materials (e.g. box, tape). If packaging materials were ingested, the manufacturer recommends to continue feeding your pet normally and observe them to ensure no intestinal blockage of the packaging materials. Speak to your veterinarian with further concerns.

Just rescued a senior cat with hyperthyroidism and he takes 5 mg Felimazole 2x a day.......he is very skinny and does not eat very much at all.....a friend of mine brought over some Forti Flora and I sprinkled a little on some wet food and he started eating it like crazy (he ate maybe a couple spoons fulls)....and then drank a half of bowl of water....he also acts like he has a sort throat or trouble swallowing...it'll be a little bit before I can get him into the vet....your thoughts?? Thanks for any info, Geri?

Hyperthyroidism in cats can cause increased appetite and increased thirst. It can also cause your pet to lose weight. Another side effect of hyperthyroidism is the enlargement of the thyroid gland in the neck. If this gets too enlarged, it may cause your pet to have trouble swallowing. The manufacturer suggests that you consult your veterinarian before giving FortiFlora.

I mistakenly ordered the canine Fortiflora instead of the feline Fortiflora. Can I use the canine version with my cat and what is the difference? My cat weighs 9 Ibs. if that is relevant.?
-
Judy, The FortiFlora feline and canine products contain the same ratio of nutritional components such as protein, fat and fiber as well as the same inactive ingredients. Also, the same microorganism, Enterococcus faecium, is used at the same concentration for both products. The only difference between the two formulations is the addition of taurine in the feline product. According to the manufacturer, taurine has been added for immune system health. Your veterinarian may have additional information on the product so we do recommend contacting him or her for further advice. Thank you, VetRxDirect
