[Gpdd] Health: Solid food

[robyn ferguson]

Hi all!

Does anybody have experience in getting piggies back onto solid foods after 
illness? My Lucy has been on veggie puree/pellet mash for a while now due to 
various medical problems. She had her second tooth trim on Saturday and they 
are looking pretty good now but she shows no interest at all in veggies or 
pellets or hay. I have tried parsley, baby spinach, alfalfa, all soft stuff 
but she won't even take a bite. I am worried she has got used to eating soft 
food. She is on Metacam (pain meds) so sore teeth shouldn't be the problem. 
If anyone has any tips or tricks, they would be much appreciated. At her 
current weight (500g) I am not comfortable with withholding soft food till 
she gets desperate and eats, but it may come to that.
I am planning to put both her and Lexie on my lap tonight and offer them 
both greens in the hope that Lucy will get jealous of Lexie eating greens 
and will have a go.

Robyn
