Potentially! They get the oxbox urinary support tabs but I could swap him to the joint support ones to see if that helps at all. He’s only 2 bless him 🥹

Piggies cen get pee stains but the fur should be dry... they shouldn't have a wet underneath (underneath for the boys, wet 'bottom' for the girls)- there's always a reason. Sometimes a urinary infection or other issue can lead to them dripping pee constantly or being unable to get a proper flow...

One of my guinea pigs (very much could be both now :(), Zavala (the one in my profile pic) consistently has off and on digestive issues. When not having issues her poop is the normal shape, dark brown and shiny/moist looking after coming out. When she has had mushy and teardrop-shaped poop, my...

Hi Crucial for the management of sterile or interstitial cystitis is glucosamine. For milder to medium cases we recommend 1 capsule of a cat bladder supplement (I am not conversant with the US brands but any should do), the contents of which you dissolve in 2 ml of water and shake well. You...

Thanks I will make a vet appointment to look more into it.

So I think she said he seems stiff in his hips and his legs. I suspected he had it because he has been laying down a lot more than usual. By the food bowl, by the water bottle (which is common with my piggies anyway, but he seemed to do it a lot more than usual) and there was something off about...

George is on oxbow joint support biscuits which have 90mg glucosamine in each. He gets a whole one every day - I also give a half to my girl Louise who is prone to gritty pee. They make a special urinary support lozenge but they have 45mg gluc. so I thought might as well just give her half of...

I hope it’s simple enough too— response to antibiotics really can be so variable! He had a large stone which had to be removed around a year and a half ago via cystotomy (while he was with his previous owners), and has been on the urinary support oxbow treats since, so I think can definitely...

HUGS I am very sorry for your bad run. Not your fault, but it can really get you down. Would you and our vet consider a sterile (i.e. non-bacterial) cystitis instead of a bacterial urine infection, which is actually very rare in well-kept indoors piggies? Sterile IC is not well known outside...

Hello everyone! I went to the vet last week to have my 4 year old girl looked at. She found a couple small crystals on her vulva and an abdominal mass after palpation. She recommended an x-ray and diagnosed her with the following after reviewing it: a bladder stone sitting in her urethra, an...

Has your vet checked for a sterile cystitis (you will find more information under interstitial cystitis or IC) which is an infection that is not bacterial and that can at the best only temporarily suppressed by antibiotics or doesn't react to them at all. It seems to be attacking the glucosamine...

My boys enjoy the cystease on cucumber, but as of yesterday, they are only having half a capsule a day, to eventually none at all. I was just advised by a rescue, that giving it to them, will help support the bladder if future issues arise....or, in your opinion, do you think the urinary...

...(yay). I'm aware glucosamine takes about 4-8 weeks to show effects so due another uss in around 2-4 weeks. I started her on oxbow urinary support shortly after but through this site found info about feeliway glucosamine nearly 2 weeks ago. I stopped the oxbow as had only 45mg of glucosamine...

That's interesting that George showed nothing on a culture. I had to persuade my vet to give me the co-trimoxazole so I think it's unlikely she will be up for giving her baytril. They refuse to eat the urinary support ones, I've ordered the joint ones to see if they change their mind but I'm...

Thanks for the recommendations! I started giving her the joint support a couple days ago and she seemed to really like it. I had been giving her the vitamin C oxbow tabs before that, which she had grown bored of and recently had been refusing to touch. All the tabs smell the same to me...

...are like a little biscuit!) and he has a whole one. Louise has half which gives her 45mg... this is the same amount as in the oxbow urinary support lozenges. I considered getting a bag of these in just for her but tbh this is simpler for us! Both these pigs are very fond of their daily treat...

...of cartrophen as nothing is helping still! Any suggestions please? I have Plantain for him & only a bit of dill, rosemary very occassionally, cucumber (loads), tiny bit of pepper, little bit of round floppy lettuce. He has been on Oxbow urinary support for years too but nothing seems to help him.

...comes back soon after and said to speak to the exotic nurse about the diet changes I was making for the calcium. She suggested Oxbow urinary support treats to give extra support for the UTI and said the diet changes sounded good. She's been having her meds for nearly 10 days, with it almost...

Hi Glucosamine works for both the urinary tract and arthritis so can try and see whether he improves. The carrier powder inside the capsule should be a low enough quantity; especially compared to the oxbow supplement. Between the metacam and the glucosamine, the arthritis should be covered...

She might be lightweight but she's looking good! Well done on helping her through the crisis and managing her condition. My girl had a bout of gritty pee but in the end that was all. Her cage mate George is on oxbow joint support crunchy lozenges for his arthritis and I've been giving her half...
