That is awesome! He probably now associates you with feeling better, plus chinnies loves a schedule!

Also, could this thread be made into a sticky or whatever it's called to be put at the top of the forum no matter how old it gets? The info that you have given on here is really useful (supplementing the antibiotics with yogurt, what times you did stuff, the results, etc) and could really help other owners in the future who otherwise would never see this thread!

If chinclub wants to sticky the thread she is free to do that.
I did not suppliment with yogurt although I seriously considered it. Since Kulu has never been on antibiotics before I was very concerned for his health. I would have if he had started to go off his food but he never did.
I did suppliment with crtical care when I noticed he was going off his water to keep his fluids up since diarrhea and low water intake is dangerous. It's interesting because when his water intake went back to normal he wouldn't take the critical care on his own so I stopped making it and just made sure his food intake stayed normal, which it did.
