So, make sure that you're giving the probiotics at least 3-4 hours AFTER the Albon.
What kind of probiotics did he send you home with?
Also, to answer your question, my yorkie had a severe case of coccidia when we first got him, and he was extremely sick and refused any food. We gave him Albon for a month or so, and he got better.  |
Thats what I thought too...I knew that in humans antibiotics are taken first and then followed up with probiotics because of the interaction.
I questioned my vet when she said to give them both simultaneously and she said that the probiotics would help to get rid of the Coccidia quicker and that I should start them both immediately!
I came home and read more about it and called the Vet and they once again insisted on giving him the antibiotic and the probiotics together.
I am so fed up with them...I feel like they answer a question without thinking first!
