Archie is on an antibiotic for an infected bump on his side. I'm assuming that this is giving him softer than normal poos. Started him on Benefiber yesterday but wondered, once or twice a day? Sure don't want to block him up with too much fiber. I'm hoping that a firmer poop will also help with his anal gland (perianal fistulas) problem.

One normal size tissue should do the trick.Lucy kitten knocked over the bathroom waste basket and Oban still eats tissues.
Kidding, but given the effect on Oban it should accomplish all you want.
I give metamucil caps ... was not sure either once or twice a day so decided 1 cap am 1 cap pm with meal . we have Benefiber ( container ) in the house was not sure of amount so went with caps . How much benefiber given ? that may be an option here too . Knock on wood .. since starting seems to make a difference to the good with glands
good luck .. hope it helps

Scully used to get a rounded teaspoon (measured with an actual spoon, not a measuring spoon) back in the day. If an antibiotic is the problem though, I would consider a probiotic to help.

Thanks all for the responses.
Perfect solution since paper eating is one of Archie's favorite things.Originally Posted by Snowshoe

Archie has a followup visit to the vet tomorrow. We'll see how the back end is going. The infected bump is definitely better.

Sophie is on antibiotics for a couple hots spots at the moment. I keep some Forta Flora on hand for these occasions. Today is day 4 and her poo's are a bit soft, but overall ok.
Great news glad the bump is better. Hows the stoole comming along?
Much, much better. He is getting Benefiber in the morning and yogurt in the afternoon and he's back to normal poos.
Stinker has discovered the "hidden" capsule in the cheese slice so I've changed over to cream cheese. Went right down the hatch this evening. Not much longer to go.
