What's the trick with the avipro?

It's arrived - he's not interested.

I used the 1 scoop for 200ml. Should I have gone for the 1 per 100ml?
 
They don't always return. I have a piggy here who belonged to my friend, who sadly passed away this year. She had a lot of bladder issues, with stones etc and was always needing appointments at the vets. I think I have already mentioned the diet that I feed, and since being fed in this way Poppy has had no recurring issues since she has been in my care. She is now nearly 7 years of age.

I really hope so. I have changed the veg feeding the new Bunny low calcium food has just arrived ten mins ago! I've increased variety of hay, encouraging him to drink more - I can't do any more really.

Just waiting for glucosamine to arrive now.

Did poppy have extra fluid? Rodney is sick of me.
 
Oh really, mine get grass for dinner every night perhaps I should give a little more then? They get a decent sized pile of it.

Maybe I shouldn't stress as much about the fluid then... I have changed the diet and increase variety of hay & he is eating more hay now. He just isn't a big drinker, I'm just trying now to get him to drink more from his bottle the constant syringing just is too stressful for us both!
 
Nope, tried that he doesn't. He sniffs the edge then walks off. Little monkey isn't he!
 
I think he's doing wonderful. He's bounced back. He is eating so well & is full of beans, I'm just trying to encourage lots of drinking from his bottle it's all I can do. His diet has changed, just pray they don't return. X
 
It sounds like he's doing great.

Because I spend every day looking after piggies with health issues, I have had to adopt the approach whereby, if all is going well then there is lots to smile about. No point worrying about things that might not happen. Enjoy every day you spend with them, and don't waste a single minute!

There are some things we can control and others we can't. You are doing everything you can to ensure his best possible health, so try not to worry.

This is great news Go Rodney! Look at Billy looking at him :))

He's beside himself with excitement cos he knows it's cucumber time ;)

Can't believe it, he's getting cheekier by the day. He's literally whizzing around, amazing for a boy who could barely walk 3 weeks ago!

Such brilliant news! So pleased for you!
 
Thank you for asking @jenniferanneharris Rodney is great. He's just full of beans & polishing off everything he's given to eat. I've increased hay types & he's constantly munching, and this is making him drink more fluids which is good.
Check up is tomorrow.

He's very cheeky and seems very content. Billy is always content! He's as crazy as ever.

My mum made them a hay bag today, so they have had an exciting evening! (She forgot I asked for 2 holes but never mind!) xximage.webp
 
Aw great news. They boys look as beautiful as ever! :love:
Yes its deff true...increase they hay and varieties and they do drink much more. I noticed the same with mine when i did the same thing. So pleased they are well :D
 
Rodney got the all clear at the vets tonight :D He's very pleased with himself & the vet was really pleased with him.

He said there was no need to cut anything from his diet or look at calcium in veg, as this isn't why stones form, and that cutting things out does more harm than good....

Bit confused!
