i brought puppy to dr ling today for check up. she asked me to try giving puppy multi-vitamin / multi-mineral supplements (for small animals). she cant find anything wrong about puppy's fur and stuff like that. dunno what is wrong with him that caused him to be in this state. she suspect maybe lack of certain vitamins / minerals. i mentioned about nutri-gel that some of the hamster owners are feeding. she said it should be fine. but i think she mentioned about the sugar content that is a bit worrying. cant really remember. must check with my bf about it. so anyone got any recommendations on these supplements? i actually bought HOBO VH18 vitamin complex. but havent feed yet.  |

I'm feeding my bunnies Echinacea now. Recommended last time by Daniel (I think, or someone else?) Anyway, they seem to be ok with it.

clover > i'm currently feeding echinacea and children's vitamin c. all these are recommended by dr ling. but echinacea 1 hor, depends on how many MG u gave. if tablet high MG 1 hor, then have to feed only a small amount.
dr ling said maybe puppy lacks some other vitamins. that's why asked me to get the multi vitamin / multi mineral supplements to see if it'll help.

Dearest Puppy, I have seen Hobo multi vits. I also bought another brand of multi vits for my hamsters though I seldom feed them now. Just stored them in the fridge for decoration.
I think any brands of multi vits is fine leh... so far, I've seen around 2 or 3 brands of multi vits for small animals niah.

Oh... Haha, then I think I decided to feed after you recommended. I forgot who, only remember someone mentioned it and that person was feeding echinacea.  Wow, puppy needs to eat even more supplements besides the 2 he is eating. I hope he is ok. |

i used to feed vitahealth 1 'cause the MG is lesser. so i have to only cut the tablet into quarters. then they withdraw the product. so now i'm feeding blackmore. the MG VERY high. so i have to crush it and then give 1/8 of it. very shiong. and more difficult to feed. i'm still looking for one who small amount of MG. i havent feed puppy the hobo multi vit. yest go vet, forgot to bring it there to check with dr ling. but so far, he's doing well. think i'll start feeding him that tomo. btw, his top 2 teeth dropped out. finally. hahha... dr ling is so happy to see his upper teeth finally dropped out. hahaha... ya lor... puppy has to take many supplements. 'cause fur loss, dunno why. dr ling also cant find any problems about it. that's why she suggest i give them to him. see how.  |

high heels > 'cause puppy's teeth overgrown then slanted. and it's affecting the lower teeth. making the upper teeth grow upwards. actually that time dr ling want to try pull out but his teeth too hard liao. u know bunnies on top got 2 teeth hor, 1 of them drop liao. new tooth grow out liao. so now finally the other one also drop. so now can let it grow out again lor. he still can eat. now his bottom teeth hor, 1 is super short. 1 is long. dr ling happy 'cause no need to clip puppy's teeth. moreover diffi to clip teeth 'cause slanted mah. dr ling also happy 'cause she dun need to be the bad person liao mah... hahaha... 'cause that time she make puppy very angry, while trying to get blood from his veins. |

I've heard ghost mentioning abt this Vitamin thing.And i was given 2 tubes for try out..have to check your cages regularly as this Minimal Vitamin thingy might attract ants.Generally,this is quite a good product..& think it's made of Honey.

Oh ya, my brand of Echinacea is Healtheries. 400 mg. I break the tablet into half, 1 bunny eats half a tablet. I hope that's enough.

Well,jus avoid dripping the vitamins into the cage to avoid attracting ants.....i mix it into the water bottle for my hams tho....it does attract some ants,but after removing the water bot,then the ants will soon be gone.  |
