Chewable Papaya Enzymes
Papaya Enzyme Tablets for rabbits?
I just saw in one of my bunny groups that a few people were talking about what to do when a bunny eats something they are not supposed to. One lady said since her rabbits were 1 and 2, she has given them 1 Papaya Enzyme Chewable Tablet (for humans) per day, to keep their digestive tract good. She said they also make these for pets but she doesn't know the price difference.
Is this safe to use on rabbits, since it's made for humans? The dose for humans is 4 tablets, I think I read. And that lady just gives one each.
I just found a site that has the tablets for rabbits. So I wouldn't get the human ones, if I get it.
Papaya and pineapple both contain enzymes that break down various things and are often used to break down trichobezoars (a fancy word for 'hairballs'). The papaya tablets are safe to use. I don't know what dose you would give, but I highly recommend this site:
http://www.rabbit.org (The House Rabbit Society).
Hairballs are the main reason I know of to use papaya. I've also seen recommendations to use Petromalt or a similar product that is used for cats for hairballs. That helps keep things moving through the digestive tract. I don't know if papaya should be used every day. Make sure your bunny has access to fresh hay, the fiber will help keep the digestive system in good health naturally.

Digestion Support or How to Tame My Tummy
Do you have that bloated feeling? Are you feeling nauseous and awful? Being our number # 2 problem, over the counter meds, pain relievers and antacid combinations are recipes for disasters, reported the Institute of Health Science. Helping our Digestive process and absorbing what we take in is Absorbaid. which comes in powder and caps, relieving one of incomplete digestion. Source Naturals has Essential Enzymes for breaking down Starches, Carbs, Fiber and Protein. It also comes in a Vegetarian base of Plant Enzymes in a P.H. range of 3.0 to 9.0 closely related to the human gastrointestinal tract. Our Second Brain, which is located in our gut and also known as our enteric nervous system, is connected to our brain, and may cause Digestive Disturbances. You know yourself, being upset when the stomach begins to churn. Vitalzym by World Nutrition has all the Systemic Enzymes, working a little further not only for normal digestion, but also designed for assisting with any Inflammation, which could be hidden in your body. Since our GI Tract is home to so many microorganisms (that's the bacteria and flora and fauna) we need to keep the good guys from going bad. Now Foods has Probiotic Defense, in powder or caps. I always suggest powder, you usually have to take more in caps. Those of us that are more mature get robbed of those friendly bacteria. We can get a little help from an Ancient Chinese Formula called Dr. Shen's Stomach Curing Pills, which has been used for centuries with a background of research. For those, who like liquids. And even if we don't, Lily of The Desert’s Stomach Formula has it all together with Stomach Calming Herbs. Natures Way also has an Aloe Vera Gel and Juice in Liquid to soothe our stomach membranes. You can also swish this around your gums. It's very necessary to keep all of our thousands of Enzymes and organs and tissues functioning, realizing that cooked food is Dead Food.
Every commercial is telling us incorrectly that we are producing too much acid. And by removing the acid with those antacid prescriptions from the Big Pharma for Heartburn and Gerd, you are decreasing your digestion as Reported in the Journal of the American Medical Assoc. (JAMA). Watch Out! You could be prone to intestinal diarrhea or pneumonia.
And for those anti-acid addicts, try the Antacid Dophilus Wafers by Nutrition Now. Do you have problems with the Esophagus and swallowing? Scandinavian Formulas has Salivasure in Lozenges and they also have a good Breath Formula too. Now Foods has Peppermint Gels and Enzymatic Therapy also has Peppermint Plus for soothing stomach issues.
Getting real serious here to talk about Ulcers. Over the counter painkillers could be the cause. Jarrow has Mastic Gum, a traditional healer being used for gastric and duodenal cells. As far as being out and about like the fast paced lifestyle, you can take Jarrow Dophilus EPS with you. It is a Full Spectrum of Bifido bacteria, and Needs no refrigeration. There's also American Health Chewable Papaya in Original and Chlorophyll formulas. The harmony of digestion can also be helped with Homeopathic remedies such as Reflux Away by Natural Care, ingredients for smooth sailing. You can always add some calming digest teas, such as Golden Ginger Digest Tea by Traditional Medicinals and San Francisco Herb & Tea has the Peppermint Tea. For the little ones, Eclectic Institute offers a Ginger Peppermint Tincture or a Catnip Peppermint, all in Liquid for the upset Tummys. Don't laugh, Catnip is very helpful for those upsets. For the wee little ones Jarrow have Dophilus in Powder, just the right amount for immature GI Tracts. For your other loved ones, your pets, Ark Naturals has Digest, for their Tummys and Breath too.
Women tend to have more Carbohydrate intake, and a higher requirement of Fat for hormones. So they have a harder time digesting Protein. Men tend to require and ingest a high amount of Protein. Mature tend to have slower metabolism and difficulty with digestion. Children tend to consume more Sugar and Carbs. People that are continual users of Antacids, could have gastritis or ulcers.
So if your Insides are acting up and hurting, acts of kindness require much Healthier Options.
