Yup, so, my terrible 1 year old cat (who we love immensely) broke into the guinea pigs' vitamin C supplement treats. She probably ate like 8-10 of them during the night.
She is completely fine right now but I'm worried that that amount of vitamin C or any of the other ingredients in the treats could be harmful to her.

I'm going to include a picture of the ingredients - does anyone know if any of this could harm her?
Or should I just watch for issues? 🤦🏻‍♀️ she's currently bouncing off the walls so she's fine right now.

Vitamin C is fine; any excess is urinated out. The fiber may cause some poopy issues though :D.

One of my dogs once ate a whole 5-pound bag of bunny chow. That didn't work out so great for him. . .💩

You may want to put your guinea pig's food and treats into a secure container and in a secure cabinet to prevent future snacking on by the cat :) Guinea pig food and treats are high in fiber so you may just get poop issues. Constipation might be an issue so watch for that.
