    Heart & dental issues

    Penelope has had dental issues for the last few years. They usually start up once/twice a year and then she’ll be good for a while. The beginning of this year, she had fluid in her abdomen and the vet heard a tiny heart murmur and a slightly enlarged heart. Since then, she’s on Vetmedin twice...

    Sterile Cystitis Questions

    ...week, more red pee. Consulted vet again, was advised to continue metacam for 10 to 14 days and get a supplement. She suggested Oxbow urinary support (except there’s supply issues) but not Cystease as it’s designed for cats, there’s no scientific research using it for guinea pigs and we don’t...

    Oxbow Urinary support tablets stock issues.

    Hi I would recommend switching to Feliway cat cystease capsules (UK brand) instead when you review the situation by the end of the week. These are widely available online; they are classed as a food supplement and not as a medication. If you do, we will tell you how to use them then. What you...

    Post GI stasis poops from antibiotic advice needed!

    Hey, I just wanted to apologize for freaking out yesterday. My piggy was just going through something these past few days, and this forum has been so supportive to me, that I wanted to give the love back when I saw your unanswered thread. I got triggered when I read that your guinea pigs were...

    UTI Care and Advice

    UPDATE: The vet said that her ultrasound and full body scan showed no signs of inflammation or infection anywhere else and that the bladder wall looked good. She said that the blood could be the result of the sludge not being flushed out yet which can take anywhere from a month to 3 months or...

    Variety of symptoms, any advice?

    ...personally only feed nuggets to all my pigs twice a week and to Arthur who had the bladder stone, not at all but I give him one Oxbow urinary support biscuit once a day (and he is on long term daily metacam and potassium citrate as per my vets instruction). Feeding less nuggets enables me to...

    Cystease and metacam?

    ...and metacam at the same time? I dont want to be giving her too many things or possibly make her worse. And would giving her oxbow urinary support treats be okay with these too?

    Urinary biscuits

    I use the oxbow urinary support ones, and also their joint support ones for my old boy. Essentially I use them for their glucosamine content - it is a food supplement useful for supporting both battered bladders and arthritic joints. They are not a preventative for UTI though. Sometimes a...

    ...you're not doing so already, to give her a glucosamine supplement to reline the bladder walls which may still be sore after being scratched by the stone. There's Feliway Cystease capsules or Oxbow Urinary Support tablets for example. They aren't prescription meds so you can get them online...

    Hi everyone, I’ve finally got some oxbow urinary support ’biscuits’ and also purchased some cranberry treats for my boy who has bladder sludge. He won’t eat either of them, shall I mush them up and syringe feed them?

    Possible bladder stones

    I don't know about the taste - I do know they are a pain to dissolve in water but if you can manage that you can syringe them. I saw in another thread that the cystease tablets can be dissolved in a couple of mls of water overnight and then syringed into piggy's mouth (half each...

    Piggy with arthritis

    ...If she ever needed it she would have to have it mixed in with critical care and syringed I suppose. However, she does like the oxbow urinary support ones in the yellow and white packet. This only has half the glucosamine (45mg rather than 90mg) but that's better than nothing and it's the same...
