Antibiotic recovery and gut health protocols
The gut microbiome affects digestion, immune function, and even behavior. Antibiotics, dietary changes, and stress disrupt this delicate balance — Proviable repopulates beneficial bacteria to restore normal GI function.
If your pet has diarrhea during or after antibiotic treatment, or struggles with dietary transitions, a TelaVets veterinarian can assess digestive symptoms on video and prescribe Proviable as part of a recovery plan.
What is Proviable?
Proviable (Nutramax) is a multi-strain probiotic containing beneficial bacteria including Enterococcus faecium and Bifidobacterium, combined with prebiotics (fructooligosaccharides) that feed healthy gut flora. It restores intestinal balance disrupted by illness, stress, or antibiotics.
What does Proviable treat?
Diarrhea, antibiotic-associated GI upset, dietary transitions, stress-related digestive issues, and microbiome restoration in dogs and cats.
When a vet may prescribe Proviable
- Antibiotic-associated diarrhea during or after antimicrobial therapy
- Acute diarrhea recovery support alongside primary treatment
- Dietary transition and food change GI upset
- Stress-related colitis from boarding, travel, or household changes
- Chronic intermittent diarrhea with suspected dysbiosis
- Post-surgical GI recovery support
- Puppy and kitten digestive establishment during weaning
Possible side effects of Proviable
Know what to watch for — your TelaVets vet will review risks and benefits during your consultation.
- Extremely well tolerated with virtually no adverse effects
- Temporary increase in flatulence during the first few days
- Mild soft stool as the microbiome adjusts — usually resolves quickly
Conditions Proviable may be prescribed for
Why pets need Proviable
Pets need Proviable when the gut microbiome is disrupted by antibiotics, illness, or stress. Restoring beneficial bacteria speeds recovery and prevents recurring digestive problems.
Dietary change
Sudden food switches and dietary indiscretion upset the bacterial balance in the intestines, causing diarrhea that probiotics help resolve.
Stress and inflammation
Boarding, travel, and GI inflammation alter gut motility and flora composition — Proviable stabilizes the intestinal environment during recovery.
How our vets determine if Proviable is right
Proviable is prescribed when a veterinarian identifies microbiome disruption as a contributor to digestive symptoms. TelaVets vets determine whether probiotics alone or combination therapy is appropriate.
- Assessment of stool consistency, frequency, and associated signs on video
- Review of recent antibiotic use, diet changes, and stress events
- Evaluation of hydration and overall energy level
- Discussion of concurrent GI medications — metronidazole, Cerenia, etc.
- Guidance on when fecal testing or further diagnostics are warranted
Proviable administration & dosing
Proviable dosing depends on whether your pet needs acute paste therapy or longer-term capsule maintenance. Your TelaVets vet recommends the right kit and schedule for your pet's digestive situation.
Give the paste formulation for acute episodes — dial the syringe to the correct dose
Capsule kits include a loading phase (paste) followed by maintenance capsules
Can be given with or without food — mixing into a small amount of food aids compliance
Start probiotics during antibiotic therapy, spaced 2 hours apart from antibiotic doses
Continue for at least 1–2 weeks after antibiotics are finished
Refrigerate paste after opening if label specifies — check product instructions
Use the species-appropriate formulation — dog and cat kits differ
Always follow your prescribing veterinarian's instructions. Dosages are tailored to your pet's weight, age, and health status.
Using Proviable safely for your pet
Safe for puppies, kittens, and senior pets at recommended doses
Inform your vet if diarrhea persists beyond 3–5 days of probiotic use
Not a substitute for treating infectious or parasitic causes of diarrhea
Immunocompromised pets should use probiotics under veterinary guidance
Seek emergency care for bloody diarrhea, vomiting with lethargy, or dehydration

Frequently asked questions about Proviable
Ideally both — start Proviable during antibiotic therapy (spaced 2 hours from antibiotic doses) and continue for 1–2 weeks after the course ends to fully restore gut flora.

Proviable supports microbiome restoration in chronic diarrhea, but underlying causes must be addressed first. Your TelaVets vet determines whether probiotics alone are sufficient or if additional treatment is needed.
Yes, Proviable is safe for young animals and is commonly recommended during and after antibiotic treatment in pediatric patients.
