  Hello all,
  
  My senior bunny (double digits) is still kicking even after a couple recent scares. 😯
  
  His arthritis has just begun to show visibly this spring. It’s been a slow arrival of spring so cold, wet, and damp. He is an indoor bunny though.
  
  Some days are worse than others obviously. Some days he is active like jumping onto the sofa and others he just wants to loaf.
  
  He’s not a fan of Oxbow Joint Support so I would like to order him some Myristol. He is on a low dose of Baytril (for the rest of his life) for chronic pasturella, but he isn’t on any painkillers at all.
  
  The instructions on the website say “Provide 1½ scoops (1.5 grams) per 10 lbs. body weight once daily.”
  
  He’s just a little over 4 lbs so I imagine a little less than half of a full serving.
  
  Can someone assist me with some of this simple math? How much did you give your smaller buns?
  
  (as an aside, did you have much success?)
  
  Thank you so much!

  I’m not familiar with Myristol. It was discussed in this thread a little bit: https://binkybunny.com/forums/topic/joint-support-arthritis-prevention/
  
  As far as serving size, would this not be 0.6 grams (based on what you provided)? Half of a serving would be 0.75 grams.

  With the scoop vs pellets, the instructions suck!
  
  I just guesstimated and give my 2lb bun 2 average pellet or one long pellet. I feel like one cannot overdose with it if just giving 1-2 additional pellets.
  
  I cannot say if it helps but I gave it along with medication, both meloxicam and gabapentin. I could only give is via mushing it in CC or similar.
