Hello everyone:

I have a question regarding something I recently read about vitamin deficiency and injecting rats with a vitamin supplement for a skin problem involved dryness and drying up. It was a thread a bit lower in which a owner was having a problem with skin falling off and other same conditions listed above. I found it rather interesting that a possible cure to the dry skin might be vitamin supplements.

1. I was wondering who has done this before for there boas?

2. What type of vitamins (list name brand or medical term)?

3. Are they simple pill form that can be put into a frozen thawed rat, or injection form (need a needle) type?

4. What dosage is required yet safe?

5. Any other precautions needed while using this type of treatment?

I appreciate all your help with this information, to better understand boas and medicational situation.
