    Feliway questions

    Any glucosamine supplement will add calcium to the diet but by reducing the pellet intake to 1 tablespoon per piggy per day and filtering the water you are controlling the two largest sources of calcium in the food, so it balances out. Please be aware that a diet too low in calcium can also...

    Bladder sludge

    Nancy was hiding away more. And she has been on co-trimoxazole for two weeks to rule out a UTI. Currently her squeaking is far worse unfortunately so it seems a UTI is unlikely. She had been only doing small wees though. She squeaks when pooing sometimes too.

    Stringy poo, blood in pee

    ...used in forum piggies here in the UK include Feliway cystease (for cats) or something called 4joints liquid (for dogs). I use oxbow joint support 'cookies' for my arthritic piggy George and my girl with gritty pee gets half a one. Cystease is dissolved in water and syringed or one member...

    UTI/IC pain not letting up

    Hi and welcome An x-ray to check for stones and sludge would be good; also to see whether something is going on in reproductive tract as she is a sow; the two are closely entwined and can impact on each other. If there is no sign of stones or any problems and you are left dealing with a bad...

    Bladder sludge

    thanks for your reply.. yes it has been a bit up in the air the last few days hence why i was thinking possible IC flare! there was no break in antibiotics and della definitely got better after a few days on them (cries stopped) but was still leaky and wee / her back end was more smelly than...

    Feliway questions

    ...want to help my golden queen. ❣️ Sigh. Upping the metacam was going to be my next question :) For now, I'm ordering the Feliway and will have till it arrives Tuesday to decide. Thoughts on giving her two oxbow joint supports for a day or two? I have to check the bag for the calcium...

    Neverending UTI saga: advice needed

    Yeah the more I read, the more I think glucosamine might be the key to improvement in the long term. And I suppose I’m just lucky I’m not paying for housing and stuff etc, I’m working more over the summer since I’m off uni but this happening has meant I haven’t been able to save as much. Things...

    Blood in Urine or Pink Tinge?

    ...from the other end with a the help of a little sloosh of warm water, and then we found glucosamine. George has one lozenge of oxbow joint support every day after his metacam which he is happy to sit and quietly crunch. I only started this because we inherited half a bag when an elderly rabbit...

    Stringy poo, blood in pee

    ...care. She won't touch it otherwise. 1 capsule a day. I think I've read some do 1 capsule twice per day. I will look for the oxbow joint support - she used to like the Vitamin C and fiber tabs from Oxbow Stringy poops: I think the veg caused this. I suspected it could have been the AB so as a...

    7 year old girl with gas

    ...Louise takes more than her fair share and she's had a bout of painful gritty pee in the past. She's now supplemented with 1/2 an oxbow joint support crunchy lozenge each day as my old male has them (a full one) for his arthritis... it's really helped him and 1/2 contains the same amount of...

    Bladder Stones

    ...gone by the next afternoon if I've judged it right. I've recently started to give George and Louise a glucosamine 'lozenge' (oxbow joint support) each in the hopes that it will deter joint and/or bladder trouble. We shall see if it makes any difference. George also gets meloxicam twice a day...

    Mystery hair loss near back legs during persistent UTI

    ...sure if she is just peeing while she poops or what. Right now, she is far less miserable than she was before. She is getting Oxbow joint support tablets (1/2 am 1/2 pm) and about maybe about 1/4 a pill of cystease daily? I dissolve it in water and give her 2 mL daily but I can use the 1...

    Natural Remedy?

    ...we rub our sore joints. That's gone now. If your girl is self-barbering she's not happy... but you know that already x We use oxbow joint support lozenges which contain 90mg glucosamine. They also do a urinary support one but this only has 45mg per lozenge. Some pigs don't like them - mine...

    Joint support

    ...in a shallow tray. She has access to her snugglesafe to help with some warmth but tends to just use it as a pillow 🤷‍♀️ We have oxbow joint support tabs but she doesn't like them 😣 According to fuzzieskingdom.com an "organic blend of hawthorn, cleavers, nettle, cat's claw, dandelion leaf and...

    Hugs! Fingers crossed its nothing to worry about! If it is arthritis I've found laser therapy and oxbow joint support very effective (alongside pain medication ofc) 💞

    Sludge, bladder stones

    Bladder Stones

    Hello, Thank you so much for your reply. I’m sorry for your loss😣 I will be limiting his pellets from now on, I probably give him too much after reading all of your responses. What is the longest one of your bladder stone piggies have lived without surgery? Again, thank you so much for your...

    First time with bloat - and it's Louise

    ...and she came back in to her home comforts. The only thing recently that's been a proper new thing has been the 1/2 lozenge of Oxbow joint support that George has one of for his arthritis. The vet today had a good look at the ingredients list and, like my other vet, couldn't see anything...

    Blood in urine with unkown origin

    Kiro, like George, has improved a lot on antibiotics. Fortunately it didn't affect his digestion and the vet advised me to only give probiotics if his poops get worse, which fortunately didn't happen. I stopped the antibiotics on Friday so it was also about 4 days that it got significantly...

    Natural Remedy?

    Th Wow, that’s wonderful you found a way to help George! Thank you so much for your reply, you’ve given me a lot of hope!
