As some of you may know one of our new girlies Amelia was speyed yesterday. She was also xrayed at the same time as she'd started weeing herself & couldn't hop properly :? From the xray it shows she has severe arthritis in her knees & spondylosis in her spine Poor little girlie, looks so awkward when she's moving about
She's going to be on metacam for the foreseable future, possibly forever - as it's obvious it's not going to get any better for her.
None of our buns have had arthritis before quite this bad, so this is completely new to us. We want to make her life as comfortable as possible & didn't know if there was any alternative to metacam to try or something more natural that might help her.
I've bought her some excel pellets today with cranberry & ginseng in it, as it contains glucosamine as well - which I understand can help.
I just wondered if any of you guys might have experience with a bun who has got such severe arthritis & if you'd got any advice please? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, as we want to make things as painless as possible for our little Amelia
