Best option for probiotic after baytril?

[makaveli]

Hello fellow beardy lovers,

Mr.Marv has been to the vets today and unfortunatley has a suspected ear infection so has had a shot of baytril, anti-inflamotry and vitamins and has been put on baytril 2.5%

Dosage is 1.2mls orally every other day, (only as i dont feel confident injecting him myself at home) 7 - 10 doses she said 7 but has given me enough for 10 doses

when i asked about pro biotic she said just to use nutrobal which is calcium and d3 or the unbranded "handrearing forumla" they have given me, However I know from reading alot on here that probiotics are nessacery after antibiotics.

Also had a blood sample taken, awaiting results for that.

Just wondering what is the best option (im in the uk) so far iv come up with:

Following from vetark site:

Vetark Reptoboost -probiotic combination of bacteria, enzymes, electrolytes and vitamins
REPTOBOOST contains:
- Lactobacillus which live for a short time in the gut, helping to stabilise the pH.
- electrolytes to aid in maintaining adequate levels in reptiles with diarrhoea which lose electrolytes
and maltodextrins for sustained energy

-or-

Vetark Avipro Plus - Avipro Plus is our gold-standard veterinary probiotic combination of bacteria, enzymes, electrolytes and vitamins
AVIPRO PLUS contains:
- Lactobacillus acidophilus which lives for a short time in the gut, helping to stabilise the pH.
- Fructo-oligosaccharide soluble fibre prebiotic to encourage the probiotics and make them even more effective. Soluble fibre also improves absorption
- Vitamin A, C and E to compensate tfor the losses occurring during stress and to maximise protection

-or-

ACIDOPHILLZ - cant find any other info on this other than what is on this site,

anybody with direct experience point me in the right direction?

Cheers and merry xmas!!

Hello,

I would go with the Avipro Plus or the Acidophiliz, either one.
The Nutrabol does not contain any probiotics it is a vitamin & calcium mix.
I would begin the probiotics as soon as you can as the Baytril is somewhat harsh on the system.
