When I had my Pig-Pig girl into the vet one time she suggested syringing
her a little pineapple juice once in awhile - if she liked it (and she
did!). She claimed the acid in the pineapple juice works well to break
up the hairballs. I would just buy the little 6 pack of Dole 100% juice
in cans - give her a little and then I could drink the rest. She said
to just watch if sores developed around her mouth or chin from the juice
to discontinue until cleared up - and to also wipe her face off good
with a wet cloth after syringing her if she was a "dribbler" to keep her
from getting the sores.
