Low Calcium Pellets?

[obcsed]

I need some ideas for chin suitable low calcium pellets. I have a male going in for his second bladder stone surgery in 3 months. I need to find more ways to reduce his calcium intake.

I believe I have heard the APD timothy pellet is good for chins who are prone to stones.

What is his current diet? What type of hay and pellets are you feeding? It may help something identify a change that you can make.

Stone's aren't caused solely from calcium. They are very similar to humans. Diet, water intake and genetic predisposition play a role too.

Chronic infection also can cause it. Was the stone tested for composition? As to the answer to the question, Oxbow guinea pig adult pellets have been used with bladder stone chins and recommended by vets for the diet.

Current diet is Oxbow Delux pellets and Timothy hay. Stones from three months ago were found to be calcium monohydrate oxalate. He is in surgery now so unknown about this one's composition. He is also given potassium citrate twice a day which has been effective in guinny pigs.
