[Gpdd] [HEALTH] Feeding

[Cazza177]

Dear Glynis

There is some teeth problem advice on Peter Gurney's web pages as follows:-

http://www.oginet.com/pgurney/dentalproblems.htm

He says that supplement feeding can help when a gp is in need of it.
Syringe feeding can help, but he stresses not to over-do it or the pig can
become a lazy eater.  He suggests barley cooked and liquidised with the
pig's favourite vegetable, and add a little oat to it.  Peter says it's both
nourishing and an excellent demulcent, soothing irritated or inflamed
tissue.  About 20ml a day, he says, should be sufficient.

Hope this helps.
