vitamin c

Hi all, one of my red eyed boys has been diagnosed with heterotropic calcification in his eyes. He’s losing a lot of the pigment around his iris and while he can see perfectly well and is in no pain, I’ve read that high levels of vitamin C can be a cause of this. If anyone has experience with...

My guinea pigs don't like eating parsley, bell-pepper, kale, etc. The vet recommended feeding them Vitamin-C drops via syringe, but is there any other alternative? Any Vit-C rich pellets, or supplements that they can EAT?

Now that the vet has told me not to feed veggies to Shaun ever again, I’m concerned about his Vit C intake. Does anyone know a good treat that has vic c in? I don’t want to use paste or anything like that because of his delicate stomach. Thanks!

I've been doing research because me and my partner are worried for our guinea pigs health. She's been having some excess calcium, but last night was extra. All powdery, nothing too big either. We are looking to change pellets because I heard Oxbow isn't the best and they have helped create...

I have a sick piggie but I’m not sure which is the best vitamin c to give him…..

Heya everyone, Just after some suggestions really as I seem to have a very fussy 5 month old guinea pig. She eats hay and her pellets with no problem but when it comes to veg she will only touch lettuce, kale and a bit of spinach and in little quantities. She won’t seem to touch anything else...

Hi! I'm new to the forum and I have an 8 week old guinea pig named Squid. He had a rough entry into my life as I got him and his brother, Triscuit, from Petco only to have Triscuit cough up blood and die 4 days later. Needless to say Squid was rushed to the vet soon after and was treated for a...

Hi everyone, I have recently moved from the UK with our two piglets and have found out that I cannot find the Vit. C powder that I was using in the UK here they seem to use the droplets that you put in the water instead. However, I have read that it's not great to use those droplets so I was...

I’m just curious as to what everybody feeds their guineas. A lot of places have varying information. I have taken a look at the forum though and am trying to give my guinea pigs more variety in their diet. Right now for their everyday veggies, they get a leaf of red/green leaf lettuce, a slice...

Hi! I’ve been doing research on my veggies lately and I can not find the right amount of vitamins c/ calcium that guinea pigs are supposed to have daily. One article said that for an adult guinea, they need 25 mg and then another said they need 100mg a day. Does anybody actually know the right...

Hi All, Just wanted to know if anyone has tried this product? Would you advise it would be a good form of providing vitamin C to guinea pigs? Thanks! :) Amazon.com : Sherwood Pet Health Vitamin C and Bioflavonoids (100 Tablets - 60 Grams) : Pet Supplies

Hi! I’m having problems with my two year old Abyssinian boar: he has a broken/missing tooth, which was almost definitely caused by a lack of vitamin c. I feed all of my piggies vitamin c tablets, which all except for Chewbacca (the pig in question) love. I’ve recently been trying even harder...

Does anyone know of a good vitamin C supplement? One of my piggies is very picky and refuses to eat the oxbow ones and the brytil ones.

EDIT: sorry title is supposed to say “20mg on top of red pepper. Is it too much?” Sorry for typo so I think I read guinea pigs just need 30mg of C to stave off ill health from vitamin C deficiency. Today I served her 28 grams of red pepper which has 35 mg of C. The vet gave me though at our...

hi My guinea pig has been suffering from recurrent bloat the past 6 weeks, it is now improving although he has had another flare up. I’m syringe feeding him grain free pellets mushed up 3-4 times a day and these have added vitamin c in them. I’m also giving him a bit of pro c once a day...

So as some of you know I have been giving our first piggy Rosie Vitamin C supplement since I realised the state she came to me in. We got a new piggy today from the pet shop. She came to them from the breeder yesterday. (yes she is quarantined and yes I would have rescued if there was one near...

When you intend to buy the necessities for piggy but it becomes an accidental piggy shopping spree!

Hi! I recently got a guinea pig (Cream is her name) from a friend who could no longer support it. She said that she would give Cream these vitamin C drops that had yogurt in them. She said that they work great for getting vitamin c to the guinea pig, but a lot of websites that I've been to say...

Two days ago, I gave my 2 year old male guinea pig a bath in warm water. After having him in the water for 2 minutes, his hind legs suddenly gave out and he was dragging himself using his front paws. I took him out immediately. Afterwards, I noticed his eyes were sunken in. I gave him plenty of...

Hi there, A week ago my partner and I were lucky to bring home three little piggies - Daisy, Clover and Poppy - all of which are around the eleven week old mark. Yesterday we had to take them to the vet, as they've been sneezing and coughing (as well as scratching a lot) and he said all of...
