[Gpdd] HEALTH: cranberry pills

[GARY HESS]

Oxbow makes cranberry pills which my rabbit adores. I haven't tried it on Hershey yet. I'll let you know what she thinks when her tummy isn't so full (she just had her vitamin C, and I don't want to over acidify her). I know cranberry liquid pills have sure saved me from quite a few doctor visits myself.
We're on acreage, so I wash whatever grass, plantain, dandelion, and clover (the latter given very sparingly) I give her, just as I wash greens from the store. So far no problems, but that was a wise warning about wild animals contaminating the grass, especially other rodents. When Vrie was dying I gave her all the grass she could eat (which she did right up until she passed on), and I found her vacant body, her sweet little head buried in the grass. I'm sure it was the last thing she smelled before she entered The Green Kingdom where there's no such thing as bloat or, in her case, cancer. She was as near perfect a piggie as I'll ever know. She loved everybody and refused to pee on people. A real lady,
