Can I give Bene-Bac to my rabbit after antibiotics for gut health?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Male | 8 years and 6 months old | 6 lbs

My 8 1/2 year old rabbit recently had Clacium stones and a bladder infection. The vet put him on 2 weeks of baytril. then a week later he went for a follow up. The Calcium stones were gone, but they put him on SMZ for one week to knock out the rest of the infection. would it be ok to get him some benebac to help his gut bacteria stay healthy?

Yes, you can use this product for rabbits, but make sure to follow the label instructions for rabbits. There are other rabbit-specific probiotics that are designed specifically for rabbit digestive systems that you can order on the internet. Check out Oxbow as this company in general has the best small rodent and mammal products out there. Good luck!
