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

Product Information

Bladder sludge (hypercalciuria), bladder stones (uroliths), cystitis (inflammation of the bladder) or infections are common outcomes from complications in renal function or declining urinary health that can be life-threatening in these species. As we have discussed in previous blogs there are a multitude of nutritional, environmental, and other factors owners can focus on to potentially limit urinary and bladder issues. Sometimes, though, these issues are unavoidable, which is where Oxbow’s Urinary Support can help under the guidance of your veterinarian. How Call I Determine If My Pet Will Benefit from Urinary Support? 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.

How To Prevent Bladder Stones In Guinea Pigs - Precisely Pets

All pellets contain some level of calcium. Reducing pellets to less than 1/8 cup may help reduce the excess calcium and minerals in your guinea pig’s body. High calcium can also be a contributing factor to stone growth. If you feed a lot of leafy greens like spinach, kale, parsley, swiss chard, carrot tops, or similar veggies, your guinea pig may have too much calcium in their diet. Bladder stone prevention is a matter that is close to my heart. A few years ago, my six-year-old guinea pig was diagnosed with multiple bladder stones and a possible kidney stone. If you do this, make sure your guinea pig is getting an adequate amount of Vitamin C through their veggies or an added Vitamin C supplement.This mini red cabbage-looking vegetable is quite popular with some guinea pigs. Radicchio contains potassium, Vitamin K, and fiber. 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. No matter what we consume, there’s always going to be some level of calcium and other stuff that needs to be routinely flushed out. If your guinea pig isn’t drinking enough water, these minerals end up sitting in the body for too long, giving them a better chance to bind together and form stones. Many high-calcium leafy greens and herbs contain many great vitamins, so it’s best not to permanently eliminate them from the diet unless your guinea pig is very stone-prone.
