Hi my Zip who’s 4 and a half is going in for X-rays on Wednesday for potential stones/sludge diagnosis. Can anyone let me know what bottled water I can give as I live in a really hard water area and I can’t fit a filter jug in my fridge. Thanks in advance
 
I don't put my jug in the fridge, we all use the filtered water even in the kettle for tea so we go through it very quickly, it's not standing around long enough to be a problem. I just make sure whats left in the jug goes in the kettle and filter it fresh for the guinea pigs bottles, takes three lots for my guineas, I usually have 2 jugs going at a time.

Good luck with Zip, I've ust had one boar operated on for sludge and stones and another going in for a scan this week, despite all my filtered water and low calcium veg.
