A fresh dose in the water bottle daily helps keep your guinea pig happy and healthy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n  \u003ch6\u003eDirections\u003c\/h6\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eOASIS 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n  \u003ch6\u003eRECOMMENDED DOSES \u003c\/h6\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eThe average adult guinea pig weighs approximately 2 to 2.5 pounds and drinks 4 ounces of water per\u003cbr\u003eday. 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\u003cbr\u003eC. Any unused vitamin C is excreted via the urine.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eNormal healthy guinea pigs of all ages \u0026amp; sizes = 25 mg (8 drops of Vita-Drops Pure C) daily\u003cbr\u003ePregnant or nursing guinea pigs = 37.5 mg (12 drops of Vita-Drops Pure C) daily\u003cbr\u003eGuinea pigs showing signs of stress or scurvy = 50 mg (16 drops of Vita-Drops Pure C) daily\u003cbr\u003eMega-dose for guinea pigs with deficiency\/scurvy = 100 mg (32 drops of Vita-Drops Pure C) daily\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eFor use with food: Randomly scatter 8 drops of Vita-Drops directly onto the surface of the daily food ration. Check to be sure\u003cbr\u003ethat the vitamized feed has been consumed within 24 hours. If the guinea pig refuses to eat the fortified food, feed the usual\u003cbr\u003eplain diet for 3 days and try again. Guinea pigs have good appetites, and usually accept the new feed mixture immediately. It\u003cbr\u003eis very important that guinea pigs not go without food by refusing the fortified feed.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eExcess dosages should cause no ill effect.

The vitamin C\u003cbr\u003ehumans and guinea pigs need must be consumed daily as part of our regular diets.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eVitamin C is an easily oxidized vitamin that will be destroyed by direct sunlight, heat or mere passage of time. 60 days is about\u003cbr\u003ethe limit unless the vitamin C has been stabilized. Oasis uses only high-grade stabilized vitamin C of food-grade suitable for\u003cbr\u003ehuman consumption in our Vita-Drop Focus-Formulas.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHOW MUCH VITAMIN C DOES A GUINEA PIG NEED?\u003cbr\u003eAn adult guinea pig will drink about 4 ounces of water per day - a bit more during warm weather and a bit less during cold winter\u003cbr\u003emonths. At that rate Oasis Vita-Drops Pure C provides 25mg of vitamin C daily. This is the amount agreed upon by guinea pig\u003cbr\u003eexperts and breeders to prevent scurvy, and to maintain good health and growth. Younger smaller animals will consume less\u003cbr\u003ewater - but also require less vitamin C due to smaller body weight. The vitamin C requirements self-adjust as the guinea pig grows\u003cbr\u003eand consumes more water.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWHAT MORE CAN I LEARN ABOUT VITAMIN C and SCURVY? \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eYour goal should be to PREVENT Vitamin C deficiency rather than cure the resulting scurvy disease:\u003cbr\u003e Scurvy is painful, very difficult to treat and cure, and often fatal.\u003cbr\u003e Once diagnosed, many guinea pigs fail to fully recover .\u003cbr\u003e Signs of a Vitamin C deficiency in guinea pigs can develop quite rapidly - often within days as compared to over several weeks.\u003cbr\u003e Symptoms may go unnoticed if a guinea pig lives in a group with others.\u003cbr\u003eVITAMIN C deficiency and the resulting disease known as SCURVY are preventable with daily use of OASIS VITA-DROPS PURE C for Guinea Pigs.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWHAT ARE THE PRIMARY SIGNS OF SCURVY?\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eAn affected guinea pig may show one or more of these symptoms:\u003cbr\u003e• Eye \u0026amp; nasal discharge, loss of appetite, weight loss\u003cbr\u003e• Depression, lethargy, weakness, unwillingness to move\u003cbr\u003e• Ruffled un-groomed hair coat, reddened visible skin\u003cbr\u003e• Swollen, painful joints and ribs; stiff limb joints, lameness\u003cbr\u003e• Tenderness to touch (may cry out in pain if restrained)\u003cbr\u003e• Internal bleeding\/hemorrhage (darkened belly skin is a sign)\u003cbr\u003e• Bleeding gums \u0026amp; hemorrhages under the skin and into the joints\u003cbr\u003e• Diarrhea, tender belly area, sunken-in abdominal area\u003cbr\u003e• Loss of ability to remain upright - will stagger as if drunk\u003cbr\u003e• Hopping instead of walking - hindquarters may become paralyzed\u003cbr\u003e• Loss of ability to maintain normal head position\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eHOW CAN THE GUINEA PIG GET THE SUPPLEMENTAL VITAMIN C?\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eVITA-DROPS PURE C liquid supplement can be added to either the water supply or to the daily food diet.\u003cbr\u003eOASIS VITA-DROPS GIVE DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS FOR BOTH WATER AND FOOD APPLICATIONS.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oasis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":9025309245505,"sku":"100005200","price":19.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2259\/5719\/products\/s100005200.png?v=1625087322"},{"product_id":"oasis-vita-drops-for-rabbits","title":"Oasis Vita Drops for Rabbits","description":"  \u003ch6\u003eDescription\u003c\/h6\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003e59.15 mL\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003ePremium Quality High Potency Multivitamins\u003cbr\u003eFocus-Formula™ for Rabbits\u003cbr\u003eInsures balanced nutritional daily intake\u003cbr\u003eFor all Breeds and Ages\u003cbr\u003eMade in U.S.A.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eConvenien \u0026amp; essential for normal growth, development, good coat condition and overall health. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n  \u003ch6\u003eDirections\u003c\/h6\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eOasis Vita-Drops can be added to the food or the drinking water, whichever is more appropriate an accepted by the rabbit.
