Oh thanks, I can't find and with the search thingy being off I didn't know where to start, thanks
 
You are a star, thanks very much, will have another look tomorrow as well, thanks again
 
dont forget that carrot tops are very high in the calcium department too, I dont feed them at all now :roll:
 
Ah yes, of course they are and I have been giving her those, I must cut them out, I'll have to add it to the list

I hope it does the trick, thanks everyone
 
Also you can get low calcium hay (I think Timothy hay is low calcium). I had a rabbit with kidney stones and had to do all this low-Ca thing. Good luck.
 
Thanks that's brilliant, wgere do you get the cranberry capsules from please?

Thanks for the info everyone
 
I got the Cranberry/ Vitamin C combined capsules from our local (human) health food shop...I would think that a big chain like Holland & Barratt would stock them too.

The capsules are little clear plastic containers that you can pull apart easily. I have no idea about dosage, but I've been feeding a whole capsule worth of powder every 2 or 3 days. Some powder obviously spills onto the floor, so I have no idea how much of it actually gets eaten!

My rabbit was constantly wet around her tail area, but has recently regained some control over her bladder and is dry because she is no longer dribbling urine. I have no idea if the Cranberry/Vit C helped in any way because she is also on injectable steroids at the moment, but it certainly hasn't harmed her, so its worth a try.
