Oxbow Natural Science Urinary Support, 120 g (Pack of 1)

Product Information

Bell peppers are one of the best low-calcium foods that are high in Vitamin C. If your guinea pig isn’t fond of sweet peppers, you may want to try Oxbow’s Vitamin C tabs. Rabbits will absorb nearly all of the calcium they consume and guinea pigs are thought to absorb a significant portion of dietary calcium as well. Excess calcium is then filtered through the kidneys and excreted in the urine. But the kidneys can only take so much before they can’t filter any more. When this happens, the calcium forms a solid crystal which gets excreted through the urine, producing a cloudy sludge. If calcium can lead to bladder sludge in my rabbit or guinea pig, should I just avoid it altogether? But, in my experience, they don’t seem to make much of a difference. They may help marginally and can be good for prevention when combined with other methods. Iguanas: Natural Science Urinary Support tabs are to be offered per day if you feed daily, or per feeding if you do not feed every day. Before offering the tablet at the designated amount per body weight, it is first recommended to soak the tablet in water for 10-15 minutes. Drain water and mash up the tablet into smaller amounts with a spoon. Either top dress the daily diet or offer separately. The lowest calcium grass hay for guinea pigs is orchard hay, followed closely by timothy. Either of these types of hay is suitable to feed your guinea pig.

Natural Science Urinary Support is a high fiber supplement containing various beneficial ingredients to support the overall urinary health of your pet.

If your veterinarian deems supplementation an appropriate option for your pet, Urinary Support can be a great addition to an omnivore’s diet alongside fortified, complete pellets and other approved foods for small omnivores such as rats, mice, hamsters, and gerbils. Depending on weight, small herbivores should receive 1/2 to 2 tabs of Urinary Support per day, but for omnivores we recommend feeding 1/8 tablet daily for smaller species such as mice and dwarf hamsters and 1/4 tablet daily for larger species such as rats, gerbils, and Syrian hamsters. Supplement FAQs Whether they’re dogs, cats, birds or small animals, we provide a big selection of pet supplies online for their health, hygiene and care, and have been for over 25 years now, since Petlife begun in 1993. Offer a grass hay-based pellet at recommended daily feeding amounts. You can also consult with your veterinarian to see if reducing the amount of offered pellets may be right for your animal. Reducing the volume of pellets and offering an increase of loose grass hay and greens will dilute dietary mineral concentrations and may help reduce strain on the kidneys.

Urinary Support - Petlife Urinary Support - Petlife

Glucosamine (plant-based) to support the replenishment of mucous that lines and protects the bladder. More exercise. Get your pets up and moving! The more your rabbit or guinea pig moves, the more they shake up the contents of their bladder. This moves the high calcium urinary sediment around, helping prevent stone formation. Movement may also stimulate a desire to empty the bladder more regularly. This means they may reduce the chances of infections occurring in the bladder. They do not impact stone growth specifically. However, guinea pigs with bladder stones often suffer from reoccurring infections, so cranberries can still be beneficial. Blueberries for Bladder Problems Nyulaknak, tengerimalacoknak, rágcsálóknak és más növényevő állatoknak (pl. szárazföldi teknősöknek, leguánoknak) egyaránt adhatóak.

In this article, we’ll answer the following important questions about bladder sludge in rabbits and guinea pigs: Timothy grass, barley flour, oat groat flour, cane molasses, flax seed meal, yeast culture (dehydrated), xanthan gum, algae (fat product), mixed tocopherols, rosemary extract Marshmallow root and dandelion leaf which are natural diuretics to reduce water retention and promote urination. Every animal is unique and there is no sure-fire way to completely prevent urinary issues. Although there are contributing factors (listed above) that are thought to contribute to urinary issues, some animals may be genetically predisposed to certain urinary issues. Some clinical signs to look out for that may indicate your pet is experiencing urinary health issues include: My guinea pig had severe bouts of arthritis leading up to his bladder stone diagnosis. Due to his arthritis, he was not moving around as much and, therefore, not drinking as much as he needed. Not long after this, the bleeding and stone diagnosis came along. The two were very closely linked.

Premium ingredients in Natural Science Papaya Support include papaya and pineapple (natural sources of the active enzymes, papain and bromelain) and high fibre timothy hay. Most guinea pigs go nuts for these tablets, but sometimes they need time to get used to them first. If your piggy won’t eat them as is, try soaking them in water until they are soft, then sprinkle them over their regular food. Avoid Alfalfa in the Diet My favorite bottles are the plastic living world brand, as they seem to allow more water flow than most other bottles.
