Hello everyone!

I have questions. I hope someone can help me.

My piggy's bladder wall got thickened. I wanted to give her glucosamine. Her vet suggested a product called "Urinovet Cat Dilution". But some people told me this product looks like renal, and it may harm your piggy (it may cause more crystals in the urine). Also, my piggy doesn't want to swallow it, and I don't want to stress her every day.
Therefore, I found a product is produced in Turkey. It's called "Glucosamine Type II plus". Ingredients: Glucosamine, chondroitin, type II collagen, hyaluronic acid, MSM.

Does anyone know if this is safe for guinea pigs?
If it's safe, how can I determine the dosage?

I found Cystease online, but shipping is very expensive :(.

Thickened Bladder wall? Is there any treatment?
 
I’m really sorry but I don’t have a clue. I would look at the ingredients compared to cystease and see. Also perhaps consult your vet and maybe ask if they could get the cystease in for you.

I think our vet doesn’t know much about glucosamine and its dosage, but we have an appointment today. I’ll ask her about Cystease.
