Hello. So recently, I took one of my female Guinea pigs to the vet because she was acting strange and not eating. The vet told me that she has a GTI, and gave me some anti-inflammatory medication and some Oxbow Critical Care. I told him my guinea pig's weekly diet, as well. He gave my guinea pig a vitamin C shot, and told me I should give her Oxbow's vitamin C disc-thingies daily. My guinea pigs are on a purely vegetable/fruit/hay diet, and have not received pellets for over a year. That said, I feed bell peppers, kale, carrots, red leaf lettuce, tomatoes, and apples throughout the week. Is this not enough vitamin C for them? I've never in my life had issues relating to vitamin C with my guinea pigs. Was the vet just trying to get me to buy something at his shop? My total for the vet was around 150 dollars.
