Folate (Folic Acid) Deficiency in Dogs and Cats
Folate deficiency in dogs and cats impairs nucleic acid synthesis, causing megaloblastic anemia, poor appetite, diarrhea, and skin or mouth inflammation. It arises from low-protein or overcooked diets, gut disease, or high demand in pregnancy, and is corrected with folate and good nutrition.

Vitamin D deficiency in dogs and cats impairs calcium and phosphorus use, leading to rickets in the young and osteomalacia in adults, with bone pain, lameness, and deformities. It is prevented and treated by correcting diet, ensuring sunlight, and veterinary-directed vitamin D and calcium.
Can I give my cat smectite (adsorbent anti-diarrheal) and a probiotic at the same time?
Smectite is an adsorbent anti-diarrheal, while the probiotic mainly treats diarrhea, constipation, and indigestion from gut-flora imbalance. Give the smectite first, then the probiotic 1–2 hours later; if symptoms do not improve, stop and see a vet.
Can I give my cat smectite and a probiotic together?
Smectite is an adsorbent antidiarrheal used for acute and chronic diarrhea, while the probiotic (Medilac-Vita) treats diarrhea, constipation, and indigestion caused by gut flora imbalance. It is generally best to give smectite first, then the probiotic 1–2 hours later. If symptoms do not improve after medication, stop treatment and take your cat to a veterinary clinic.

Should I take my cat to the vet?
If a cat keeps vomiting after a food change, stop the new food and switch back to the old to reduce gut irritation. Withhold food and water 4 to 6 hours to let the gut rest, then resume with small, frequent meals. A pet probiotic can restore gut balance and reduce vomiting from indigestion.
