How Do Antibiotics Affect Your Pet's Gut?

How Do Antibiotics Affect Your Pet's Gut?

The Gut Microbiome

The gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem of bacteria and other microorganisms that live in the intestines of animals. Even though they’re tiny, the microbes that live in your pet’s gut microbiome play a crucial role in digestion, immune system function, and your pet’s overall health.

What Do Antibiotics Do?

Antibiotics kill bacteria. Your veterinarian likely prescribed an antibiotic to help treat or prevent an infection caused by a harmful bacteria. Unfortunately, antibiotics cannot differentiate between the “bad” bacteria that can cause infection and the “good” bacteria that support your pet’s health, so they wipe out both.

 

Common antibiotics include: amoxicillin, cephalexin, doxycycline, clindamycin, gentamicin, enrofloxacin, and penicillin.

 

Common conditions antibiotics are used for include: urinary tract infections (UTIs), ear infections, respiratory infections, skin infections, and eye infections.

How To Support Your Pet's Gut Microbiome During & After Antibiotics


Antibiotics are an important tool for treating dangerous bacterial infections in cats , but they can also come with some negative effects (like diarrhea). Antibiotics can disrupt the delicate balance of bacteria in the gut, which can lead to a range of health problems.

Fortunately, there are ways that you can support your cat during and after antibiotic treatment. On a daily basis, AnimalBiome’s science team is researching and gathering data to create important tips for pet parents to use to support their pet’s gut health during and after antibiotic treatment.

Fecal MicrobiotaTransplant(FMT)

A fecal microbiota transplant (FMT), also called a fecal transplant, is the transfer of stool from a healthy donor to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract of a sick recipient. That transfer can be done in a veterinary clinic or at home with oral capsules.

 By providing thousands of healthy, species-appropriate gut bacteria, FMT can alleviate a variety of symptoms associated with imbalance or dysfunction of the gut microbiome—including digestive disorders like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), chronic enteropathies, colitis, atopic dermatitis, and immune system issues.

How Does the Gut Restore Supplement Work?

  • Add Missing Good Bacteria

    When pets with digestive symptoms and skin issues are missing important gut bacteria, it’s important to add those missing members to the gut microbiome and help the new populations grow and thrive.

    Unlike standard probiotics, our Gut Restore Supplements provides a whole community of thousands of different kinds of bacteria and other microbes that are native to healthy cats or dogs. The capsule’s enteric coating prevents it from dissolving until it reaches the intestines, where the contents seed your pet’s gut with a diverse array of healthy bacteria, restoring any missing groups.

  • Reduce Harmful Bacteria

    If your pet’s Gut Microbiome Health Test report shows an overgrowth of harmful bacteria, restoring balance will require removing or reducing those troublesome groups. FMT capsules can help in this scenario too, through a process called competitive exclusion. The new beneficial bacteria from the FMT thrive and multiply, taking resources and space away from the harmful bacteria, which gradually die out.

  • Increase Diversity

    Gut Restore Supplement capsules contain a diverse community of thousands of different kinds of healthy gut bacteria native to cats or dogs. Diversity is important because each type of bacteria has a specific job to do to support the pet’s health. Gut Restore Supplementhelps resolve symptoms by giving the cat or dog’s gut microbiome the important organisms it needs to function properly.
