Can I give my cat FortiFlora twice in one day after she got into something she shouldn’t have?

This afternoon, I caught my cat nibbling on something she definitely shouldn’t have been eating. She's acting a bit off, and it got me thinking about giving her an extra dose of FortiFlora today to help settle her stomach. Is it safe to double up on FortiFlora like that, or should I be concerned about doing more harm than good?

Answer

You've noticed your cat eating something she shouldn't and are concerned about her acting a bit off. You're considering giving her an extra dose of FortiFlora to ease her stomach discomfort.

  • Monitor your cat for any worrying symptoms
  • Moderation is key in dietary supplements
  • Consult a vet when in doubt

It's quite understandable to be concerned when your cat eats something unfamiliar. While FortiFlora is a commonly used probiotic that can support digestive health, typically adhering to the recommended dosage is best. Doubling the dose might not necessarily improve the situation and could introduce additional issues. Unless directed by a vet, sticking to the prescribed amount is often safest. If your cat starts showing serious symptoms like vomiting, lethargy, or any decline in health, it's crucial to contact a vet right away.
