[Sandra Oliver-Poore]

Yes, dar, do start syringe feeding your piggie  as many times a day as is possibe, and plan a trip the vet ASAP. The big problem is sorting out whether your piggy has diabetes or diffent problem.  See if you can find out as soon as possible if she has diabetes because it would mean that you have to avoid the sugaryfruits and foods that you might otherwise think would ve good for ashrinking piggy.  Until you know cut out banana and grapes and anything elsr thay might have natural sugars. Avoid trat food like yogurt drops and craisens, raisens anything with sugar, cut it out.  Then push lots of pellets, syringed if necessary, and tons of grass hay and a bit of alfalfa hay or pellets.  Give romaine, parlsey, cilantro, chard etc and sit with your piggy at meals and offer several different foods at each sirtting

Once you have ruled out diabetes you can add the high cal stuff above to add to more cal

more later and bulk her up, the key is many diff foods feed often throughout the day to stimulate the appetite.  But vet immed, if its not diabetes it could be metabolic or a tumor so dont delay or slacke up

more later, write with more questions
