...probably too young for it to be arthritis but George started to 'creak' when he was 4-ish. We've found glucosamine in the form of oxbow joint support lozenges really helped him. George is also on metacam. We create warm little hideys either with snuggle-safe heat pads under fleece or a human...

Great information, I will get on the Oxbow joint support today! That works out for you that the one piggie that doesn't like the tablet does not need it. 👍

...that a stiffened and more hunched posture would not help either general movement or normal pooping. So daily metacam and the oxbow joint support glucosamine that he had for the arthritis actually did help stave off the impaction worsening for a couple of years as he was able to move about...

Can these be given to any pig? I inherited half a pack from a friend who recently lost her bunny and thought they might benefit George (already diagnosed with arthritis) and possibly Louise whose run has recently begun to look a bit stiff. She'll visit the vet with him next month when he has his...

I give my IC piggie the oxbow joint support "cookies". They actually have about 90g glucosamine. When she has a flare, I give up to one capsule (divided in half given twice a day) for 1-3 days and then taper off to about 1/4 capsule contents once a day (this is on top of the oxbow joint...

...for his arthritis. George also gets impacted so we ALL want him to move around as much as he can! I recently started him on oxbow joint support 'tablets' which have surprised me by making a difference! I inherited half a pack from a friend whose elderly rabbit had died. The vet had a look...

...has lost nearly 200g since her problems began. As per Wiebke's advice, I also give her glucosamine supplements, as in an Oxbow Joint Support biscuit (tho she's recently decided she doesn't like those any more!) and a cystease capsule mixed into some critical care. I suppose you could ask...

...everything and more hay. Wherever you are in the world I suspect you will hear the indignant wheek! It has also been recommended he tries the oxbow joint support. I had these for Peanut and none of my piggies would eat them. Has anyone got any suggestions for glucosamine joint support I could...

Poor boy - it doesn't sound like is on a bad diet at all. Basically any glucosamine will do. It works for joints as much as for the walls of the urinary tract.

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...

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...

...to build her up a bit with a daily helping of critical care. I haven't heard of any reason not to supplement with CC, it is just a food supplement after all. My vet also recommended supplementing with glucosamine in the form of oxbow Joint Support biscuits and/or Cystease. Hope this helps !

Thank you. I think he can now eat pellets again so may be able to manage one x

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...

Thank you so much everyone, I forgot to mention she also get the oxbow joint support supplement for the glucosamine but I doubt it does much, she loves them so I guess even if it doesn't help it's at least it's a nice treat. My past piggie Lottie with the horrible arthritis was on gabapentin...

...did say what amount of glucosamine is recommended, 130mg per kg of piggy daily. Clover now weighs 950g so I reckon one of these Oxbow joint support biscuits with 90mg glucosamine will be ok to start with, if she likes them! But I thought posting the dose our vet recommends might be helpful...

Hi, I personally use oxbow joint support lozenges because my boar has them for arthritis - I saw great improvement in his mobility after a few weeks on these. They contain 90mg glucosamine per lozenge (perhaps you'd call them 'cookie' as they are like a little biscuit!) and he has a whole one...

George gets daily glucosamine with one oxbow joint support tablet per day. this contains 90mg glucosamine. I just got them from amazon - it's this stuff Oxbow Animal Health Louise has a half tablet. They both really like it so it's a good method for us. My other pig (who has no issues) won't...

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...

George has had arthritis for a couple of years and we have both the oxbow Joint Support (purple pack) and the Urinary Support (yellow pack in your picture) JS has about 90mg glucosamine per 'biscuit' and US has about half of that - 45mg. Cystease - if I remember right - has about 120mg but...
