Grinding then up and sprinkling them on peppers & carrots usually work. I do that for my girls and they love their "special" veggies.

I know there's a thread on Vit. C tabs, but I thought I'd continue here. Our vet suggested grinding it up and mixing it with a bit of applesauce or pumpkin. We tried applesauce, and as others have noted, Elle now likes the tablets "straight up". Celia still won't eat them.
Finished the probiotic, Elle still has poop problem. The vet wants us to keep her on hay & pellets & nothing else until we get her checked again in Oct.
We did get a scale and they look sooo cute in it!!

This thread should have a different name. I should have started a new one when we got Elle.
Elle's poop problem has gotten worse. Her poops are sometimes toothpaste consistency and unformed. She's been getting nothing but hay & pellets for weeks. And a vitamin C tablet.
We went to the vet on Tues. and Elle did something that she just recently started. She rises up on her feet and arches her back, makes a little hiccup sound, and then poops these unformed piles. It's like she's straining. She doesn't do it all the time.
The vet collected a sizable sample to test, but it was negative. We're supposed to stick with timothy hay & pellets and measure the pellets for consistency from day to day. I got some blue grass hay, but I'm going to stop that for now.
The vet palpated Ellie's abdomen and didn't think there was a stone problem because there was no tenderness in that area at all. She said she'd post on Vet Web and had someone she wanted to call at Colorado State, but he's out of town this week.
I'm starting to worry. Otherwise, she's happy, lively and eats regularly.
