I stumbled across this whilst ordering joint biccies today. It has a picture of a bunny but was wondering if the ingredients where actually bunny kosher? Thoughts?

dear loobers25,--you are wise to question,any product before offering to your rabbit--even with a rabbit on the label,[merely advertisement],-must read the label/directions-if necessary call your local exotic dvm with question..sincerely james waller-from across the great pond-usa
 
I would definitely not use this. These are the ingredients https://www.homeopet.com/ingredients/anxiety-relief/

Aconitum is a nasty poison. I grow Aconitum here in the garden and I am very wary of it. Also Henbane and Jimson Weed are members of the Nightshade family (Solanaceae), which are also poisonous.

I know homeopaths would possibly argue that by using small quantities or by processing in a particular way you can obtain benefits by using such substances. However, this is not something I personally would take a chance on.

I'm also not sure how much control, testing or regulation there is in selling these products.
 
I missed this. Thanks for thinking of Mouseypie. Looks like not bunny kosher anyway. How is Dennis doing these days?

100% This. Any Tom, D1ck of Harry can concoct a 'homeopathic' treatment with absolutely no regulation or assurance that the product is safe.

Always happy to research stuff like this :) Remember Homeopathic usually means natural, but natural doesn't necessarily mean safe. I think Aconitum's been used by women trying to kill their husbands. Just a few leaves added to a tasty stew........:lol:

Mousey is on metacam twice daily now. She seems to have a glint back in her eye. I think she likes being with Rudey which might help. Nose bumps for Den. Does he still binky? Mouse hasn't binkied for forever. She did try & hump Rudey the other night - it was both funny & sad at the same time

If you are thinking of an additional/complimentary approach to managing Mousey's pain control I'd suggest contacting these folk

https://www.britishhomeopathic.org/...als/holistic-care-and-management-for-rabbits/ and also discuss it all with your Vet xx

thanks JJ. I've had a wee read already & have bookmarked. She is very hands off is Mousey though & she doesn't enjoy travel.

She is due a review at the vets sometime soon ish. I'm actually really happy with how she is at the moment. Her movement has been clumsy all the time I've had her but she does alright - she keeps herself beautifully clean. We'll be having blood tests at vet review to check she is tolerating metacam ok

I can identify with being clumsy !! My poor mobility means I am always falling over myself :roll:


I think with 'hands off' Rabbits it is usually best to only do the absolute essentials with regards to long term pain management. Inspector Morse was incredible in that he would allow me to do absolutely anything 'hands on'. But I have had numerous other Rabbits whose lives would have been miserable if I attempted to do the same thing. Each Rabbit's needs are unique, even if they have the same long term condition. I am 100% certain you will do what is right for Mousey xx
