Deworming products do not affect gut bacteria.

Not directly, no. But an overdose that causes inflammation and diarrhea can, apparently. The vet basically said a buildup of "bad" bacteria overwhelmed the "good" bacteria (this is after weeks of blood and fecal tests). Six months of twice-daily Tylosin that we had to wean him off, and over a year of prescribed probiotics got him to a point where he can at least eat his sensitive food without issues.

So was it an overdose? I’m confused by your description.
