[Dailydrool] Morse and chronic diarrhoea

[Meckler, Michael]

‎I have tried a variety of probiotic products with my gang, and I have found the most success with Purina's FortiFlora, which is a meat-flavored powder containing the Enterococcus faecium organism. The powder comes in individually-portioned packets to be sprinkled over food.

I would, however, check with your veterinarian first to see if this is appropriate for Morse. ‎Some folks worry about Enterococcus faecium because an antibiotic-resistant strain has developed that can cause serious infections, though that is not the strain cultured for FortiFlora. Nonetheless, given Morse's current condition, a veterinarian ought to weigh in on whether FortiFlora or any other probiotic would be appropriate.

I keep FortiFlora on hand in case digestive problems emerge with my hounds and have used it successfully for several years.

Hope you find something that works for Morse.
