As you may know my.bun has been through the wars and had a huge bladder stone removed.
She's still poorly and recovering so I'm not doing anything drastic to her diet yet while she heals.
However I need some ideas on what I can and can't feed her - what's high in calcium and what's not.
She currently has minimal excel pellets - minimal meaning I grab a few with my fingers, almost a big pinch. She has some greens and she has timothy hay (she doesn't eat it just kicks around making a bed) readigrass, apple leaves and twigs (no apples) and some foraging hay.
She has a hay bed (indoors)
I'm wondering if I switched to shavings or changed how I put a bed down for her this would make her perhaps eat more of the hay because it's a litter corner for her at the moment she nibbles the odd bit of it?
I take her outside as much as possible or I pick lots of grass and she happily munches through that.
I welcome any suggestions and advise I don't want her to go through what she has been through again!
