I already bought a box, which was from the second harvest, because I was worried that the quality of the grass might not be very good, so I didn't dare to buy too much. Besides, the price isn't cheap either. It comes out to 400 yuan for 2 kilograms. Oh well! I also bought some domestically produced sun-dried timothy grass for her to try. If she likes the domestically produced sun-dried timothy grass, then that could be used as the main grass, right?
sorry to trouble you, but she can't walk anymore. She's hopping around, and it feels like her hind legs are paralyzed. Did my mom tease her today, which might have scared her?I just gave her half a vitamin C, she should be lacking in vitamin C because it has been a long time since I last gave it to her, I don’t know.
Just for clarity's sake since @dongzheng is not an English native-speaker, if they were giving Vit C regularly long-term how would weaning off slowly work? Approx. dosage? Approx time frame? Or is this something they can only discuss with vet? (Though if vet is pro Vit C, might be problematic).
I understand. Sorry for being a bit dumb.
Poor piggy, I hope she gets better soon.
She was scared by my mother. My mother played with her in the afternoon, and then I bought her a toy that makes noise, similar to a potato chip bag, because guinea pigs like the sound of bags, right? My mother shook the bag near her ear, and she ran away. My mother took away her house to encourage her to move around more, especially the house she had just found to hide in. My mother took it away, causing her to be startled. Then I noticed she could walk on one sofa but not the other. I think she might have been scared, so I quickly gave her vitamin C, vitamin B, and kale, then covered her cage with a scarf. My mum was too anxious; I told her to be gentle. Now I want to bring the guinea pig from China to Vancouver, but I must have her sit with me. I can’t send her alone in the luggage compartment of the plane. I don’t know if this is realistic! Are there any good methods for stress desensitisation? I really feel sorry for my little one, and my mother is crying too. My mother’s intentions are good, but my little one has endured such a severe illness, only to be scared by my mother. I couldn’t sleep again last night.
It's like this: I saw on that website that vitamin C supplementation is necessary, or is that just an old saying? In China, all guinea pig owners know that guinea pigs cannot synthesise vitamin C on their own, so they need extra supplementation. Although I feed them vegetables and special guinea pig feed every day, is this the wrong approach?
It's like this: the guinea pig hasn't been getting any vitamin C supplements for about a week. Normally, I give him vitamin C supplements in the form of Oxbow's vitamin C grass cakes. When he's not sick, he eats vegetables, and I've been making sure he eats vegetables these past few days. However, my mother always thinks I'm not giving him enough, including now that he has a urinary tract infection. I've said not to give him too much guinea pig food and to let him eat more grass, so I haven't been giving him vitamin C recently. Additionally, most guinea pig owners here have been advised to supplement with vitamin C, which might also be a sales tactic by some merchants. Sigh, The reason my guinea pig suddenly lost strength in its hind legs yesterday was due to stress. After I blocked off its cage, I watched it on the monitor, and it could walk normally. It must have been scared by my mother, which caused the issue. So I urgently administered 50mg of ascorbic acid, which is suitable for both adults and children. Then, following the instructions on the website, I gave it 0.25mg of B12. My mother thought he was in pain and gave him 0.1 mg of mefenamic acid. I’ve already told her not to give him any more medication. I feel so heartbroken seeing him being tormented by my mother! The resilient little one is currently doing well. We’re now focusing on desensitisation training after the stress response.
