Buckley had been having trouble with a bladder stone. I switched from pellet food (and unlimited Timothy hay and some veggies) to just unlimited timothy hay and low calcium low oxylate veggies. I switched her diet almost a month ago. Since then she hasn't had any pain... After consulting the food list on the website here's what I'm feeding:
unlimited timothy hay
brussel sprouts
red cabbage
broccoli (small amounts)
red bell pepper
occasionally corn, radish, apple, oats (non-enriched), cereal (with appropriately low calcium content)
2 questions for you more experienced pig owners:
Is this a good diet? Should I change something about this diet to make sure she gets proper nutrition?
Should I still consider surgery to have the bladder stone removed even though it's not causing her pain? The stone was about the size of a plastic pin head.
Thanks for your advice!
-Elizabeth
