Oasis Vita-Drops Concentrated High Potency PURE C for Guinea Pigs is high-quality safe and reliable stabilized Vitamin C product for easy every-day use. The product is formulated using liquid stabilized Vitamin C with no other added vitamins or elements and is suitable for Guinea Pigs of all breeds sizes and life stages. Guinea Pigs (cavies) need daily Vitamin C because like humans Guinea Pigs cannot make their own Vitamin C and must consume it fresh daily. Lack of daily Vitamin C causes the disease known as scurvy which is painful and possibly fatal but is also easily treatable and preventable by using Vita-Drops Pure C. Vitamin C supplementation is needed for Guinea Pigs becasue 1) it takes more fresh food than you would think to provide sufficient daily Vitamin C and 2) Vitamin C oxidizes easily in dry feed formulas. Easy to follow instructions give proper doses - 2 ounce bottle with dropper cap.

Instruction

  • Use Instructions: Oasis Vita-Drops Pure C can be added to the food or the drinking water, whichever is more appropriate and accepted by the guinea pig. The preferred method of using OASIS VITA-DROPS Pure C is to add the concentrated liquid supplement to the guinea pig's daily drinking water (whenever possible, use a sanitary water bottle instead of an open water dish, which can be easily contaminated with debris). Guinea pigs readily drink this mixture, but if desired the vitamins may be applied directly to their food. Recommended Doses: The average adult guinea pig weighs approximately 2 to 2.5 pounds and drinks 4 ounces of water per day. At this rate - using 2 drops of Vita-Drops Pure Vitamin C per ounce of water - the Vita-Drop mixture yields 25 mg of Vitamin C. Any unused vitamin C is excreted via the urine.Normal healthy guinea pigs of all ages & sizes = 25 mg (8 drops of Vita-Drops Pure C) dailyPregnant or nursing guinea pigs = 37.5 mg (12 drops of Vita-Drops Pure C) dailyGuinea pigs showing signs of stress or scurvy = 50 mg (16 drops of Vita-Drops Pure C) dailyMega-dose for guinea pigs with deficiency/scurvy = 100 mg (32 drops of Vita-Drops Pure C) dailyFor use with food: Randomly scatter 8 drops of Vita-Drops directly onto the surface of the daily food ration. Check to be sure that the vitamized feed has been consumed within 24 hours. If the guinea pig refuses to eat the fortified food, feed the usual plain diet for 3 days and try again. Guinea pigs have good appetites, and usually accept the new feed mixture immediately. It is very important that guinea pigs not go without food by refusing the fortified feed. Excess dosages should cause no ill effect.
  • Storage Instructions: Store Oasis Vita-Drops in a cool dry place. May be refrigerated.
