Hello,
I’ve been giving Pip 1 capsule of cystease per day for a couple of weeks now. This is for her bladder and urinary health. She hates it! She doesn’t like me syringing it to her, sprinkling it on her food (she won’t eat the bits with a lot of the powder on it). She won’t eat it even with...
In January our wonderful girl Biscuit had to be put to sleep after she was found to have a large kidney stone that couldn't be removed. Then two months later we lost her sister Cake too after a prolonged illness. Despite numerous tests a specific cause could not be found, although this was also...
The Sherwood urinary are no better than oxbowurinarysupport. They won’t do any harm but we have seen no evidence that they will help, and can rather just be a waste of money. If you wish to provide glucosamine for urinarysupport then there are more effective ways to do it
...over the place currently due to work! However, I was wondering what people’s thoughts are on these products?
I read that the oxbowurinarysupport tablets are better? I also read on the packet of the oxbow ones that it’s not intended for growing Guniea pigs? Does that mean you can’t use...
Hello,
I have been using the oxbowurinarysupport treats for my piggy Lily as reccomended by the vet for support with stones and sludge. I am however struggling to source any at the moment and get the impression this might be a regular issue. I have almost ran out comepltely so was wondering...
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...
Is it completely safe to add Oxbow's UrinarySupport vitamin, or, if all turns out completely okay with his urinary tract, just adding Oxbow's Joint Support 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...
...(we are instead), which is sad because guinea pigs are her special interest.
She is on rheumocam, potassium citrate, and oxbowurinarysupport tablets. She has filtered water. She also has oxbow vitamin c tablets.
We are worried that she is in pain and we don't know. We don't want anything...
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...
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 OxbowUrinarySupport 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...
I’m sorry to hear this and sorry for your loss
Glucosamine isn’t a prevention for stones or crystals. It just helps strengthen the natural glucosamine layer in the bladder.
The oxbow products, to my knowledge, are pretty low in glucosamine anyway. I would not use them as they won’t prevent...
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
HUGS
I am so very sorry.
This does sound very worrying indeed and needs an urgent vet examination. Please try to get her seen as soon as possible as an emergency; one possibility could be that the stone has moved and could be blocking the urethra. There are however other possible causes...
Hi everyone.
Ive been giving both my guineas oxbowurinarysupport tablets for a year now after a particularly dressing urthera stone developed for my piggy Mavis.
Although she is a piggy prone to this as many are, combined with a multitude of adjustments we seem to have kept any reoccurrence...
...still there. She poos normally although does an awful lot! She is reasonably (for her) active and eats well. I have her on OxbowUrinarysupport and have also now bought Sherwood Urinarysupport which is supposed to dissolve stones and sludge in case the ultrasound missed something. Does...
...twice a day on prevent calcium build up and half a capsule of Cystaid for cats twice a day to protect his bladder.
He has one Oxbowurinarysupport tablet a day and regular low calcium and watery veggies (cucumber, courgette, some coriander soaked in water).
With also swapped his Timothy...
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
