Pet's info: Cat | Siamese | Female | spayed | 1 year and 7 months old | 4.41 lbs

Skye was on a medication that upset her stomach, now I have to give her probiotics, I mixed it with her food and she will NOT eat it. Do you have any other suggestion to give her the probiotic? Thank you

It's pretty odd that a cat won't eat food sprinkled with Fortiflora! In addition to probiotics, it is used as a flavor enhancer for cats with poor appetites. You may need to try a couple different foods to see what she is more interested in. Or discuss this development with your vet, as her poor appetite might not be caused by the Fortiflora and could be related to the upset stomach.
