pernicious scurvy

Question
This happened once before and she recovered. I caught it early this time too she is showing signs of scurvy (hopping,listless,poor coat)she is fed guinea pig pellets and fresh veggies but maybe she just needs a lot more C than other pigs. My male is perfect. I'm giving her drops and will as long as she needs but I am just wondering if you have heard of this

Answer
Hi Jimmy

You have done the right thing giving vitamin c drops.

However, the signs of scurvy that you mentioned can also be signs of other conditions so I would suggest a general check up by your vet to ensure that the scurvy can be treated totally and any other problem identified.
