Looking for suggestions.  Yesterday I took our girl Pig-Pig to the vet. (She's the Piggie that absolutly refuses to eat any veggies of any kind!)  But we've had her for over a year now and she has been perfectly happy and healthy.  Last Sunday I filled her hay rack - and that was the last time I filled it all wheek.  She can usually eat a rack a day!  Yesterday when she turned her nose away from a Cheerio I knew we were in trouble so took her in to the vet.  He could find nothing wrong with her!  Temp normal, no "noticable" stones, didn't seem dehydrated to him(of course I had been syringing her water and cranberry juice), no bloody urine (but hardly any urine at all - her potty corner has been fairly dry for days) and her lungs sounded clear and fine.  Her poos ok same color, shape, consistancy.  He put her on Baytril for lack of knowing what else to do for her - thought she may have a bladder thing that just wasn't noticable to us yet?  She seems to be drinking on her own ok today - but will just pick at a piece of hay now and then and still not interested in her favorite things, cheerios and dry bread.  She just mainly sits and stares into space?  Now I'm starting to think depression?  She gets lots of attention (She is queen pig you know!)  Sorry so long - but I am out of ideas on what to do for her!  

Thank you all in advance for any suggestions!
