Description
Guinea pigs cannot synthesize vitamin C, however it is essential for their health: first signs of a vitamin C deficiency can be severe tiredness, difficulty in moving, diminished appetite, followed by more serious symptoms if it lasts.
A healthy guinea pig requires 20mg/kg daily. The need triples during sickness, convalescence, pregnancy and lactation (60mg/kg).
Shake the bottle before opening.
Preventive use: dilute 10 drops (= 0,5 ml) of VITAMIN C FRANCODEX per 100 ml of drinking water. Replace daily.
During convalescence: triple the dose, i.e 30 drops (= 1,5 ml) per 100 ml of drinking water over a period of 10 days.
During pregnancy and lactation: triple the dose, i.e. add 30 drops (= 1,5 ml) per 100 ml of drinking water during the entire period.
Vitamin C is sensitive to light, it is therefore recommended to change drinking water daily. Use as a supplement to a balanced diet. Store in a cool and dry place away from light.
