[Gpdd] [HEALTH] Hand-feeding advice urgently needed

[Frau Meier]

Hello,


> The CCT factsheet says there is a certain point at which a
> weight loss becomes so severe that no amount of hand
> feeding will save the piggie

if a piggy looses more than 30% of its body mass, there is no chance to
recover.


> The CCT factsheet and websites I've  looked at recommend
> wrapping piggie in a towel

> Sarah  has him stood on her lap, no towel, just lifts his front legs
> and opens  his  mouth

We show both methods in our website (www.fraumeier.org/paeppeln.htm),  a
wrapped piggy, fed by Vedra personel and a piggy sitting on my lap. I
prefer the second method and have good experience, but both piggy and staff
must learn this! It will take two or three times of feeding!



Best wishes for Red Dandy
