Bio Lapis

[Katiedid]

been told to take biscuit off everything but grass and hay, then told to give her bio lapis - half a sachet a day. What is the best way to do this? She isn’t having veg (I would usually dip a sliver of watermelon in it. Do I give it on a smidge of cucumber or small bit of lettuce? Or do I mix it with a couple of ml of water and syringe it (she is not good at syringe feeding).

You can give it any way you like; on veg, syringed in water or mixed into any syringe feed you give.

Will giving it on a little veg be ok if she is meant to be off all veg?

She has been on this 48 hours and honestly there is no difference. This is day 6 of this bout of diarrhoea. I’m really starting to get fed up with it and quite worried about her. She is eating and hasn’t lost weight but just isn’t right...

Where are you sourcing your grass from, is it fresh or dried? I'd have thought readi grass would be ok for her

 

[Katiedid]

She was having fresh grass from the garden but I’ve stopped that today. Now it’s medow and Timothy hay only.

I don't feed winter grass as it has little nutritional value, freeze dried grass however might be ok for her.
Hope she feels better soon xx

Thank you, the idea was for her to have little nutritional value really - so nothing too rich to upset her tum hence no pellets. In any event I’ve now taken her off grass too as I’m seeing no improvement.
