Jaime,

You cannot give Mimi too much Vit C as any surplus is just excreted. As piggies, like us, cannot make their own Vit C, she could have more veggies.

I never give the healthy Piggyfriends extra Vit C as they consume an enormous amount of veggies as part of their everyday diet. The only time that I use it is if I am making up a syringe feed for a poorly piggy, in which case I dissolve a piece of  Redoxon ( Soluble Vit C tablet ) into the water that I am using to make up the slurry.

There are plenty of veggies that are not too high in calcium if you are worried about stones.

Hugs for Mimi,

Penny and the Piggyfriends.
