With virtually nothing on the market for megacolon bunnies, especially holistic/natural support, we knew we had to take matters into our own hands for our special megacolon bunny, Delilah. So, after a lot of diligent research and consultation with our mentor Lucile Moore phD, we developed this nourishing treat specifically designed to support megacolon bunnies.
These tablets are a mixture of antispasmodics, anti-inflammatories, and herbs that specifically help with absorption of nutrients, countering irritation in the gut lining, and soothing mucous membranes of the GI tract. They are best when used in conjunction with our Megacolon Tonic Herbal Forage.
✔️ High VITAMIN C herbs help with improvement in fecal shape and output: rose hips, dill, thyme, and celery seed
✔️ HEALTHY FATS both for caloric value and because fat is needed in the gut for motilin, so it helps increase proper gut function: oats and alfalfa leaf
✔️ ADAPTOGENS for anti-inflammatory and stress reducing effects: Schisandra Berry and Ashwagandha
✔️ GUT HEALTH & MOTILITY AIDS: plantain leaf, probiotics, enzymes, brewer's yeast, ginger root
✔️ IMMUNE SUPPORT: echinacea, slippery elm bark, marshmallow root, and dandelion root
While this treat is designed specifically with megacolon in mind, it can also be safely given to small pets who do not have megacolon.

Minimum age for use is 6 months. Always introduce new foods slowly. Product does not replace proper vet care or medication.
NOTE: This treat is an adjunct/complementary approach to the megacolon disorder by adding nutritional support, as a lack of nutrient absorption is part of the disease process. It is NOT a substitute for medication. The most important thing is medical management and working closely with a rabbit-savvy vet who believes in megacolon as a diagnosis/congenital disease.
QUALITY ASSURANCE: This product has been reviewed and recommended by Lucile Moore PhD, widely recognized rabbit expert and author of Rabbit Nutrition and Nutritional Healing.
