papaya supplement

[catem777]

So what is the deal with these papaya supplements? I got them for my emergency kit but im not sure what they are for. On the bottle it says to give them daily but I know now not to trust bottles hehe. So how often or when is it appropriate to give Cosmo these?Oh and I ordered some rosehips as well, how often could I give him those?

Chins don't need papaya supplement.

I agree with meanagerie on the papaya. As for the rosehips, I use them for a treat here. I usually give 2-3 per week to each chinnie.

 

[ticklechin]

I third no papaya. Rosehips are a safe treat.

I agree with no papaya. Rosehips are good treats.

catem777:
where did you find the emergency kit? i saw it on here once but i havent been able to find it since.

Some people sell them on their sites but I'm pretty sure if you go to the FAQ master list there is suggestions for items to keep for an emergency kit. The papaya thing I got must of gotten from another site hehe seing on how it is uneccisary.

My vet uses papaya only for if a chin gets "stopped up". (Not sure what the name of it is but when their bowels stop moving) I wouldn't use it unless my vet told me to do so and only in cases of emergency.
