Hi I am relatively new to the group and never really posted before.
I have two buns, Penny and Harvey both are rescue bunnies but from different rescues. And I just have the three guinea pigs now, aswell as birds ,cats and a dog.
My problem sometimes is small droppings (well not mine personally, I meant the rabbits) the last time Penny went off her food totally too and because the vets were closed I used some Maxolon a motility drug which was prescribed for another bun , I checked this with the vet and she said it was ok.Any way after a couple of days on the med she was fine and back to normal, then Harvey was the same so I used the meds on him and he too is back to normal. But the only trouble is now I live 1 1/2 hours away from the vets and wanted to keep a supply of this drug at home for emergensies like this but the vet will not give me a supply for this reason unfortunately and as it is a POM I cannot buy else where.
Some one has told me that Lactolouse from the chemist would do the same trick for the rabbit and it is not a POM. As anyone had a ny experience of using Lactolouse? is it save? and what doseage should be used?
Thanks for any information, The rabbits do have plenty of hay a choice of three differnt kinds and pellets, but I am wondering whether having not much exercise with it being Winter and stuck indoors maybe a factor.
