Probiotics for how long?

Post by nelloyello11 » Sun Jun 09, 2013 12:18 am

I just finished a round of tetratex on some of my zebras. I want to give them some probiotics to replenish their gut flora, but it doesn't say how long to give it for...

Hi Nelissa,

I recently had my whole flock on a course of antibiotics and the vet recommended a full week of probiotics once the course was finished.

Hope that helps!!
