Hi

I currently give my 11 year old house rabbit the Oxbow digestive support supplement (as she’s always been prone to stasis). I am now thinking of giving her the joint support one too as I think she may have a touch of arthritis (vet doesn’t think it needs medicating and is just down to wanting to lie in a comfortable position because of old age/very mild joint issues). I’m just thinking this might help a little bit. She runs around fine otherwise when she’s not sleeping 😂 x
 
I give them to my elderly arthritic bun in the hope it helps but its honestly difficult for me to judge.My bun is on metacam too I think I'd prob be better giving them to my more sprightly bunnies as glucosamine is prob better as preventative than cure. I don't reckon it'd hurt to try them out
 
My arthritic rabbit has the joint ones alongside his medication. As J&B says I can't be truly sure if they help but I give them anyway!
 
I give them to Illy, but I do need to give half in the morning and half in the evening, otherwise she gets an upset stomach. Chinook was never interested in them and was miffed it wasn't a fenugreek!

I did notice a difference after a couple of weeks of Illy having them, but I wouldn't advise them as a replacement for pain relief.
