Hi Marguerite

Simethicone is meant to reduce gas. From what I've read it's used for babies who have colic. I know the US HRS say that's its safe for buns and good to have on hand.

As for over medication, I don't think it's just a US thing. I've read a lot of groups and boards and there are people who will medicate at the drop of a hat. Unless the bun is genuinely sick or has ongoing medical problems (like Susie was talking about), I agree with your more holistic approach... a good diet and make sure they get plenty of run time. I also give my buns lots of herbs such as mint, basil, sage and dandelions (Im actually growing my own dandelions in pots..lol) etc on a daily basis.. all of which are meant to help keep them healthy.

There are two good sources of herbal information here
