Default What probiotic do you use for your cat?

I have used Fast Track in the past for the dogs and goats milk for the cats but of course our cat doesn't love Goat's Milk. Any recommendations? I am especially interested in stuff I can mix in with her food as she likes it to have a lot of liquid. I am thinking that trying this may end up helping a bit with the fungal issues she gets when her Stomatitis gets a bit crazy and may help me avoid soaking her feet.

TIA.

I use Probios. It's a gel that comes in a big tube labeled for large animals. Just a pea sized drop daily, when a probiotic is needed. Most cats just lick it right off my finger.

I keep it in the fridge though it is not labeled that it needs to be refrigerated.

Most cats love forti flora, a powder made by purina but it's expensive.

Benebac is another gel probiotic, labeled for small animals I think. I know many who use it but have not tried it for my cats having always been happy with the Probios.

I've used Purina fortaflora in the past. At our vet it was around $38 for a box, which has a bunch of packets of powdery stuff in it (not sure exactly how many). You give one packet per day and I have had experience with it clearing up diarrhea. The cats absolutely LOVE it. It smells kinda meaty.

Is the Purina stuff good? Most of their food is crappy so I am just surprised that they would have a good probiotic.

The forti flora is an excellent product. It's not like their pet food which is marketed for the masses . It is expensive and usually has to be purchased via the vet.
