[Gpdd] HEALTH: Guinea Pig Bladderstone Information

[texg at cavyinfo.com]

For anyone who has a piggie that has bladderstones or bladder sludge - 

A website for owners who have piggies with bladderstones:  http://www.gpigs-database.org

The site has links to a nutritional chart, a sample diet for sludge piggies, and also offers a mailing list/support group that puts people in touch with others who have stone piggies. 

Another information source is the GuineaLynx site http://www.guinealynx.com

One thing that is important if your piggie is going to have bladderstone surgery: get the stone(s) analyzed. The composition of the stone will help indicate what follow-up management techniques to use to keep the stones in remission.
