  Just curious if anyone on here knows if it is possible to give a bunny too much of a probiotic like Benebac? I wasn’t paying enough attention when I was unscrewing my tube of benebac to give one of my buns their dose today. Then when I was squirting it into her mouth, it seemed like a lot (she loves the stuff so she was slurping it all up). I am assuming that whatever doesn’t die or take up residence in her gut will just get pooped out, but just thought I’d see if anyone on here knew.

  I can’t say from experience or from reading, but my common sense says no – it shouldn’t hurt your bun.

  Not really no. There’s actually even debate if Benebac works as a probiotic for rabbits at all, but regardless if it has probiotic effects, its contents are not something that’s harmful.

  I listened to a webinar by rabbit vet Molly Varga where she said accidental overdosing is not a problem, the superfluous probiotics just get pooped out unused.
