Best ways to give Vitamin C supplements?
My elder pig Abe likes the Oxbow vitamin C tablets. I simply break them in half and he willing takes them out of my hand and eats them.
rkog - the labeling has three different kinds of sugar/sweeteners in it. It's probably ok, but I'm trying to avoid anything unnecessary. Just looking for plain old vitamin C.
The Planet RX site doesn't show the label - if you have a bottle, can you see what else is in it?
A few of my pigs will take the tab as a treat right out of my hand. The two newest adoptees - recovering from mites and ringworm - need it the most and won't eat the tabs. I've been crushing a tab and putting it in a tiny bit of water then syringe feeding that to them. They love it, but it is a little more work than just handing them a tablet. . .Just trying to minimize my work if possible.
Thanks for the replies - and if there are any more suggestions out there have at it!
