BSP stands for broad spectrum. Like all other Vetark vitamins these are high potency vitamin drops so that only a small amount is needed. They are ideal for medicating water for birds which won't accept vitamins any other way, particularly suited to the softbills but fine for any bird. The level of vitamin A is high so even psittacines will do well on them. All of the small seed eaters are easily supplemented with BSP via the water. Palatability as with all Vetark products is good and effective levels are taken.
Some owners like to use water soluble products only once a week, with the 'average' suspicious bird this means that on those days the bird may simply not drink. When you use BSP we recommend that you do so every day
Many reptiles benefit from vitamins in the water. Snakes fed on fish such as garter snakes can develop a deficiency of vitamin B1. Alligators and crocodiles can also do this but they are easier to supplement with ARKVITS etc). Because the actual food items of garter snakes and other very small species are small and are often fed by placing them in a water bowl, powdered supplements are not very successful.
Even large snakes fed weekly or fortnightly and supplemented at the time can benefit from vitamins in their water in the interim. They are often fed frozen laboratory rodents which are often overweight. This can lead to vitamin E deficiency and steatitis (inflamed fat) which is prevented by use of BSP.
Tortoises may also develop steatitis but will often accept vitamins in the water when they avoid vitamins on food (preferring to eat the plants in the garden). Lettuce is low in carotene and vitamin A and is a staple item for most tortoises, BSP gives an alternative way of providing this vitamin.
