My 2 will not touch brewers yeast even the tiniest bit and protexin has never really made any difference, they both eat the oily herbs and the aloe vera fine though. I have fed physilium husk which I think really helps with loose droppings so I tend to have it anyway and gut sponge has also...

Did they check the suspensories when the hock arthritis was found? One of mine had hocks and coffin joints done in 2022 and his still ok, but he did have a bit of suspensory damage so he had laser on those as well.
