Our little Tina Bean is having her second odontoma surgery Friday and last time the antibiotics upset her stomach and she hardly ate anything for over a week.

What are the best probiotics to get for a squirrel while she's on antibiotics? Thanks in advance!!

I like bene-bac, yogurt works too just make sure to give the probiotics either 2 hours before or 2 hours after the antibiotics.
Best wishes for your babies 2nd surgery 🙏

Thank you!! Is this the one I would get or is there a rat/squirrel specific one?

Or there is this one which I think is the one I saw Thumbelina's owner feeding her this week...

Pet-Ag Zoologic Bene-Bac Plus Mammal Gel - 30 gm Syringe - FOS & Probiotics for Dogs, Cats, Exotic & Wildlife Mammals https://a.co/d/5Gnd9Fw

Thumbelina's mama takes her to and consults Dr. Emerson, who probably knows squirrels better than any vet in the country. I am guessing that would be a good one.

Oh duh, Dr. Emerson is our vet too, I should just call them and ask! Lol

That's the one I use and I go to Dr Emerson too👍
It doesn't have to be the plus, whichever one you get put about a large pea size on your finger see if she'll take it.you can already start her on it, periodically I give bene-bac to my kids even when not on antibiotics they seem to like it.
