What cat probiotics are best with antibiotics and how to give?

Question

Hello! I want to give my kitty probiotics with her antibiotics and after the course as well . I have one that has only lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacteruim longus ( 5 billion cfu each ) is this enough to help her ? Or is it better to get something with more strains ? Also , is it true that it's best to give in between meals because they get destroyed in stomach acids ? (I am not interested in fortiflora or other commonly prescribed reccs ,,Thank you !!

You must give special probiotics for cats, human probiotics are just unsuitable for cats and dogs because their bacterial flora is completely different from ours, and yes it is better to give them betwwen meals.
