Cranberry Juice

[Claire W]

Well, I have brought some cranberry juice to syringe in to Connie. The only one I could find was in a carton. It has no added sugar but does contain sweetener. It does say that it only has natural flavours. Would this be ok? Also, how much should I give her and should I dilute it first? If so, how much should I dilute it?
Out of interest, what is the difference between cranberry juice from concentrate and pure cranberry juice? there are so many different types

I didn't dilute cranberry when Riff was having it. I gave a couple of syringes about three times a day. I also syringed water afterwards.

Some people may not agree with cranberry juice but it really seemed to help Riff.

It is meant to help with cystitis just like it does for us humans. My connie has on going bladder problems so my vet recommended that I give her Cranberry Juice. It helps to flush out the badder. It is also recommended by Peter Gurney

Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice is ideal. Quantity? As much as possible, some pigs will drink 30-40ml per day from their bottle. Others need to be syringe fed. They cannot be overdosed with cj.

Ocean Spray - that's the brand I was trying to think of! That is what Riff had.

The one that I've got is Sainsburys be good to yourself because the sugar content is very low. I'll try the Ocean Spray next time though

If you go to a health food store, they always have pure cranberry juice there but make sure you dont give it to them totally PURE straight from the bottle haha mix half with water and the other half with pure cranberry juice
