hi all, I was wondering if we could compile a list of things that we can do to try to minimise the risk of stasis -
betsy one of my lionheads has just got her 2nd episode in 6 months. - im hoping that she is that she is through the worst of it as ive just watched her pick out a chunk of carrot and devour it and she seems alot more perky this evening- however i woulld like to know if there is any thing else that i can do to try to stop this happening again?
obviously the ideal scenario is to find out whats causing it in the first place but im sure that there are lot of preventative measures that i can take to try to stop it happening again.
Heres what i do at the moment
- high fibre diet- ad lib hay, redigrass and a few pellets twice a day (they both get science selective at the moment) plus fresh veg once a day
- teeth checked every 6 months at least
- as they are fluffy regular grooming as well as a papaya tablet daily (although betsy wont touch this)
- the get lots of exercise- they have a run which is at least 8 foot long as well as a daily run on the grass while im cleaning them out
is there anything else that are good prevantative measures that people can add? also i was wondering if some buns are more prone to this than otehrs as thelma ( betsys sister (touch wood) has never had an episode?
thanks in advance
