Lola is very interested in Perry’s jointsupport. He needs it but she technically doesn’t, although she is a senior now (she turned five in November)
Would it do her any harm to have one as well every night?
PS: No there should only be one form of glucosamine. Either Piggy Parcel Pellets, Johnsons 4joints dog liquid or Oxbow - the latter of which is the weakest in strength.
No - it's what works best for you.
The Piggy Parcel pellets are the new kid on the block but they contain the right amount of glucosamine as well (other than the Oxbow ones). Not all piggies like those pellets; that is always the gamble and why it is good to have alternatives.
Some piggies...
Is it completely safe to add Oxbow's Urinary Support vitamin, or, if all turns out completely okay with his urinary tract, just adding Oxbow's JointSupport since he has arthritis and loss of muscle mass from old age? If not, I will hold off until speaking to the vet. Just curious if that might...
...I give them a heat pad which seems to really help.
I also give them a daily joint supplement with glucosamine. I have tried the oxbowjointsupport but struggled to get them to eat it all so swapped to Sherwoods joint supplements.
Is she on a decent dose of pain relief?
I can't help...
Thank you so much, @Wiebke ❤️ with all of your guides and tips I have told my boys that you are their godparent 😂
I am sorry for another question, but I have been researching glucosamine and have found I should either order as a supplement via syringe or in a form like the Piggy Parcel Pellets...
Funny you mention that, I stopped pellets a fair while ago, but I got a delivery of the joint and urinary Piggy Pellets yesterday haha. They've only tried them once so far, but they ate them (they're a lot smaller than I expected) but that's good. I might only give them once a day, but the added...
There have been threads since earlier this year about difficulties getting Oxbow Urinary Support biscuits (and other Oxbow things). Not sure what is up...
However a more easily available alternative is Feliway Cystease capsules (you open the capsule and mix the powder with water or can...
Hi everyone, I’d appreciate any advice for my beloved 7 year old girl Oreo. She has a known bladder stone and occasionally urinates blood but I’ve never seen it bright red like this or sprayed throughout the cage. There’s also a blood clot and her weight dropped from 919 to 874 in one day and...
Hamish used to have an oxbowjointsupport biccie, I used to snap a tiny bit off for Hector. (We then started to use the 4joints liquid instead- so no extra treats!)
Hope Lola enjoys her new snack. 😀
Hi everyone- needing some support for my 2 year old piggy, Kenzo (currently 910 grams). Since February this year, he has been squeaking and straining when toileting. After many tests (urine tests, cultures, ultra sounds and CT scan etc), the vets have diagnosed him with Sterile Cystitis. Since...
Hi, if you check out this pellet, it contains more glucosamine than cystease and oxbow supplements. Feel free to send me any questions ☺️ (I’m Amanda from Piggie parcels) x
Guinea Pig Pellet with Joint and Urinary Support - 1kg
Hi
Great to hear that Finn is doing so well!
To be honest, pellets for babies and for the elderlies are more of a money spinner for the huge pet market that plays majorly on the owners' desire to spoil their pets and the wish to do their very best for them - with common sense instantly...
Update: Finn has been doing very well. He hasn't needed to go to the vet in over a week.
Essentials Senior Guinea Pig Food - Oxbow Animal Health
Should I be giving Finn this considering he's 8? Or is Oxbow's Essentials Adult Guinea Pig food better, which is what I have been giving him all his...
Thank you so much! I’m going to look into those supplements. :) she’s on a very high dose of pain medication, and I can see that that really relieves her pain. It’s just the stiffness of her joints, but maybe the supplements will work. I started today with giving her a heat pad and she’s getting...
Hi Amanda, thanks so much for your reply! I actually got the other pellets in the brown bag - but the ones in the white bag would be better for an IC piggy?
...and on low calcium/grain free pellets. I’ve tried filtering the water but they seem to go off water when I do. I give her the oxbowjointsupport treats as I can’t get my hands on the urinary support ones. I also give cystease every so often. I’m starting up giving her the potassium citrate...
