Anyone Else Having Trouble Locating Potters Tabritis/joint Pain Relief?

[AndreaJane]

Just got the posse used to having Potters as they're at the age where a bit of bunny hopping and creakyness is setting in - ran out over the weekend and now I can't find a supplier! Have trudged all over town, looked online and emailed Potters ( no reply yet) with no luck.
If anyone's bought any recently could you tell me where you got it from?
Many thanks

I found this last year when my 2 girls were on these tablets, in the end i couldn't find anywhere that stocked them and had to give up. Really hope you have more luck finding them

Thanks Jennifer. They've never been the easiest supplements to obtain but I usually managed it for my past oldies - this time round though is proving next to impossible.

The name has been changed to Potters Join Pain Relief

Allegedly stocked at the following stores including H & B,Boots etc
http://www.pottersherbals.co.uk/where_to_buy.html

However if no luck with the above outlets then maybe this on-line source may be a better bet.

Please come back and let us know where you finally managed to source them from.

My 5 and a half year old boar is getting a bit slow and has clicky shoulders - would this help him?

 

[Pebble]

There is no scientific evidence/publications to date as to whether these "officially"work for Arthritic/Joint piggies
Case histories and Peter Gurney's recommendations are all we have.
The point is...THEY SHOULDN'T DO ANY HARM

I don't give any supplements/meds to my pigs without discussing it first with my vets. They are really good exotics....and evaluate everything from a scientific basis.
The fact that the ingredients of these tablets are non-harmful to piggies means my vets have been happy for me to give these to certain pigs with diagnosed arthritic problems.

The Jury's still out on whether the main effect of these meds is to actually help the pigge (or more importantly me the owner)

I wonder whether this product has been/ is being discontinued - Have you attempted to contact the company/manufacturer?!

I wonder whether 'Galen's Garden Meadowsweet & Willow Bark' would be of interest to you - I understand that meadowsweet is used to treat arthritis/rheumatism, and that willow bark is used to treat inflammation/pain?!

As Pebble has mentioned above, it is advisable to discuss herbal remedies with your veterinarian prior to administration - Herbal remedies can have side effects, and interact with medication etc. . .

Alternatively, one can attempt to manage arthritis/rheumatism with the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs!

I will give it a miss for Eddie then as he doesn't have arthritis as of his last vet check (she suspected a touch of it, but there doesn't seem to be anything causing problems for him). Hes just a bit creaky and slow!

Yes, already checked the stores that Potters say stock them ( no luck). Auravita say they will be back 9th March so fingers crossed.

I have contacted Potters - no reply
Have already discussed Tabritis with our exotic vets who is happy for them to have them. We saw a marked decrease in bunny-hopping with our last lot of oldies when they were on tabritis.

I always used to use these for Amelia Jane as she has arthritis but now I use glucosamine along with her pain relief.

It's just a bit of middle aged creakyness with the posse so I've only started them on a small dose of tabritis for now.
Moonpig used to have tabritis and pain relief but she was getting on a bit, bless her.
What dose do you use for Amelia Jane's glucosamine?

 

[piggyfan]

1 tablet is dissolved into one glass of water and she is given 1ml twice a day. It is given after her pain relief.

They've finally got back to me - apparently there is a manufacturing delay which they hope to resolve soon and have them back on sale at the end of April.
