<bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>The Truth About Pine Shavings</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The great pine shavings debate has been raging on the internet</B></div> <div> <B>for quite a while now and it appears many people were being</B></div> <div> <B>misled about the safety of using pine bedding.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The debate seems to have all started in a chat room on "rabbit.org".</B></div> <div> <B>Marinell Harrison lost an eighteen month old rabbit during a spaying.</B></div> <div> <B>This caused her to look for a cause.  After elimination of other </B></div> <div> <B>factors, she determined that the pine bedding in the litter box was</B></div> <div> <B>the problem.  She then tested her other rabbits for elevated</B></div> <div> <B>liver enzymes.  This testing came back positive.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Since this time others have come forward to explain and dispel</B></div> <div> <B>this theory about pine bedding.  </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Carol Green, a rabbit breeder with a Ph.D. in Pharmacology and Toxicology who researched drug metabolizing enzymes and has over </B></div> <div> <B>80 publications in the field, shed light on the subject.  </B></div> <div> <B>Actually, reading the testing results and correctly interpreting</B></div> <div> <B>them reveal that many factors could raise those reading</B></div> <div> <B>levels in rabbits.  Those include ammonia, chloroform, and a</B></div> <div> <B>contagious liver disease in some rabbits called hepatic</B></div> <div> <B>coccidiosis.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>In closing, it has been determined that these claims were unfounded.</B></div> <div> <B>The good news is that the use of pine bedding with our animals</B></div> <div> <B>is totally SAFE!</B></div> <bR> <div> <B><IMG SRC="05478440.png"
