[Gpdd] HEALTH sick Windex

[Bellarobi at aol.com]

Hi Marielle,
poor little Windex! You are right, it is very important that he doesn't 
dehydrate which can happen very fast with a piggy. You can try to squirt 2 ml water 
with a tiny syringe in the side of his mouth every four hours. I would also 
try to syringe feed him with pumpkin pie filling even if he eats on his own. It 
sounds like he needs to get used to it. You might want to try to hold him in 
a towel if he is too squirmy. If you can put the syringe in the side of his 
mouth past the incisors he needs to swallow. Just hope that it doesn't end up in 
his lungs. I have heard that giving piggies shots of baytril instead of 
orally is much better for them because it bypasses the digestive system, and it 
doesn't upset their stomache that way. Good luck with that. Let us know how he is 
doing.
Marion, Poly and Sweetie.
