Hello!
My 2 1-year-old sows have been receiving Oxbow Vitamin C supplements about how long I've had them. I can't say exactly when I started feeding them these supplements, but it's been well over a year. I'd done research before finding this forum on notably less-reliable sites, reccomending it.
I was recently notified on this forum by @Piggies&buns that supplements should not be part of my piggies regular diet, but that they are good for a couple weeks when needed. I was also told that my pigs are now used to very high levels of Vit C and could get scurvy if their Vitamin C levels were lowered to a healthy amount.
I know @Piggies&buns is trustworthy and knowledgeable on the subject. I'd just me more comfortable making dietary changes if I had second opinions.
They view their Vitamins as treats and would not be a fan of weaning... and also I've never weaned anyone off of anything before. So, if I need to wean, how slowly should I go?
Thank you all!
