Neutering/Spaying Vitamin C for Guinea pigs - Importance and use

[waqar4841]

For the biologic machinery of the body to work correctly, vitamin C is required. Most animals can manufacture vitamin C in their bodies and do not require vitamin C in the diet. Guinea pigs, humans, and other primates share a gene mutation that makes production of vitamin C impossible. For this reason, these animals require a dietary source of vitamin C.Here are some symptoms when you need to feed vitamin c supplement

• Poor hair coat
• Swellings or sores around the mouth/lips
• Delayed wound healing
• Poor appetite
• Lethargy
• Diarrhea
• Difficulty moving or enlarged joints

Oxbow Natural Science Vitamin C Supplement


These were recommended for our guinea pig by our vet, after a costly trip to the animal hospital. Our piggie, HunnyBunny, LOVES them! My daughter feeds one to her each morning when she wakes up for school. We no longer need a 6am alarm clock, because Hunny starts squealing *loudly* around 5:30am, in anticipation of her treat.

The tablets smell so good, I've been tempted to taste one. If there was a candle that smelled like these vitamin supplements, I'd totally want one!.But make sure to check requirements on supplement box like i have horse where i even read description on his hoof supplement or joint supplement to make sure better experience.

Timothy Hay allergen sufferers beware: Timothy Hay is the first ingredient in these tablets. My other daughter is allergic and simply handling these triggers a reaction, that is my personal choice
