Ester-C

Submitted by kimrisa on April 21, 2010 - 12:32am

Hello! Our breeder wants my pup on 500 mg of Ester-C daily. I stopped for about a week because he was having loose stools and was wondering if it was the culprit. Apparently it wasn't the cause. I'm thinking of putting him back on. Thoughts...?

I know an excess of Vit C in humans...

causes loose stool. Maybe you should start off with a smaller dose and then work up to the 500 mg.

SAME AS IN DOGS

to find the correct dose of vit c you start with 1/2 of what the bottle states, then in crease by 1/2 daily until diarrhea or loose stools then cut back by 1/2 - 1 until firm stools.

Since it's water soluable and not stored in the fat they will pee out the extra.

How much ester-c do you give your guys and what was the dosage when they were pups?

Thanks for the advice! Since my pup already has loose stool I'll try half a dose and work my way up to make sure he's okay.
