  Has any used or heard of DMG…….our vet talked to a specialist yesterday and she recommended we put him on DMG. I’m trying to find it in a small quality…..most places I’ve seem have it in 5lb tub. Typically used for horses according to most info I can find on it.

  This was the vet she talked to about it. There is a topic on DMG on the site. It sounds positive for helping to improve his general health

  They do sell it in a liquid form….and they have it at 800PetMeds (I dislike that company, but others may have it too)

  I have not heard of this product, it sounds as though it is a herbal remedy or supplement and not a “drug”- so it is not regulated by the FDA. It almost sounds too good to be true with all the claims of everything it does. I am going to send a link of the product info to my vet and see if she has heard about it and what the general consensus about it is on DVM message boards/consult forums.

  I’ve looked around for research on it and a majority of it seems to be related to horses. I will agree, it does claim to a lot of benefits.
  
  Thanks..let me know what your vet thinks

  I don’t know much about it, so not much help here currently, but I will research more about this too.

  Well what I’ve read is products safe for horses are safe for rabbits-
  Sounds silly but their systems are incredibly similar-
  colic=GI stasis for example. It’s incredibly helpful having a horse shelter as sister shelter to our rabbit shelter as the food/meds are the same for most everything!
  
  Also many many medications are approved for one use and once tested and approved are used for other uses…cannot remember the name of that (Katnip I’m sure you know the word I’m looking for!!) and although clinical tests are not done it’s still safe to use (for example, aspirin used as a blood thinner, it’s really just approved as a pain reliever and it’s an off label use to use as a blood thinner).
  Soooo it doesn’t mean it’s not safe to use it off the label. BUT it doesn’t mean it is either…
  
  Done babbling
  
  If your vet spoke to a rabbit specialist I’m sure it’s a good thing to use! Keep us posted! More {{VIBES}} for your bun!
