Can I give my cat prednisone, antibiotics, fish oil, and probiotics together?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 11 lbs

Hello, Can predinose and antibotics be used together in food or far apart and could I still give my cat fish oil and probotics on these medications if so many hours after doses?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Sweetie. Prednisone and antibiotics can be given together. I do recommend separating the antibiotics and the probiotics by two hours though. Antibiotics are designed to kill bacteria. Probiotics are good bacteria for the gut. If given together, the antibiotics will inactivate the probiotics. The timing of the fish oil does not matter. I hope this information helps!
