I have been supplementing my 6.5 year old pig with vitamin C drops (in addition to a bit of critical care and a liquid glucosamine). I have been giving her 2.5ml of the Oasis vitamin C drops.
Based on my math, the 2.5ml should equal 17.5mg
The bottle says 2120mg of vitamin C per fluid ounce. An ounce is 30ml, so 2120/30= 70mg per ml.
This means that each 0.1ml has 7mg of vitamin c. So 2.5ml is 17.5mg.
Izzy still eats peppers and pellets like a champ, and she gobbles up her veggies. Having two other pigs in the cage makes me worry that she maybe doesn't get enough peppers (even though she is a feisty pig). I've noticed her coat is a lot shinier and her skin issues have lessened since I started supplementing her.
Does 2.5ml sound like enough or the right amount?
