Digestive health, G.I. tract motility, energy, and appetite are all closely related. If one declines, the others will decline too. Digestive upset and the risk of stasis are critical warning signs that require attention.
Feeding even a small amount of greens to a 6-pound rabbit can cause signs of digestive upset to appear within a few days. It then takes over a week of not feeding any greens to resolve the issue. This highlights the sensitivity of the rabbit's digestive system to certain foods.
To encourage your pet to eat more hay and drink more water, it is recommended to feed less of the following items: salads, greens, veggies, fruits, grains, and soy found in most pellets and treats. These food items are sweeter than hay and can increase digestive and urinary health problems. When pets eat more dry hay, they will drink significantly more water.
While some pet food labels may list hay as the first ingredient, it is important to note that grain and soy, in multiple forms, are often hidden in these pellets. In fact, these pellets are usually less than 35% hay. Treats can also conceal grains by listing multiple types of grain after hay. It is best to feed hay-based formulas that are grain-free and soy-free, such as Sherwood's formulas, which are formulated by a PhD Molecular Biologist.
Sherwood's hay-based formulas contain real hay and do not use low-cost ingredients, like soybean hulls, as a substitute. This ensures that pets are receiving the benefits of true hay-based nutrition without the addition of fillers.
After changing your pet's diet, you may need to determine if they still require additional support from a digestive tablet. Many pets can benefit from this extra help to stimulate motility, especially those with genetic motility issues (like megacolon), older age and lower physical activity, or a previous or ongoing risk of stasis.
The Papaya Digestive support tablet, flavored with real premium papaya, pineapple (natural sources of digestive enzymes papain and bromelain), and banana, is a great option. It is a unique herbal remedy shown to directly stimulate motility in the rabbit's lower digestive tract, helping to reduce inflammatory responses and support the immune system. This tablet also helps to stimulate appetite and energy with B-vitamins, while regulating the digestive tract.
For those pets whose dietary changes were not enough to fix a poopy bottom issue, this tablet can be an effective remedy. Additionally, some pets may periodically slip into stasis, and this tablet can help prevent such episodes by improving digestive motility and maintaining a healthy appetite.
