Hi everyone,
I just wanted to thank all those who have emailed me with advice to
help me with Suki's drastic weight loss. I am now feeding her a
variety of mushes I have made up in the blender, I have made up 3
different concoctions to keep her interested, but am pushing the
pellet mix the most. She is often cooperative enough to eat it off a
teaspoon, but if she doesn't eat enough this way, or doesn't feel
like eating, I am syringe feeding her too to make sure she is getting
enough food into her. I am making sure she gets a decent feed at
least every 4 hours. It is a bit of a struggle, but so worth it. I
will be at work for 8 hours later today, but my boyfriend is going to
take over for me, even though he is very allergic to Suki, bless him.
It certainly looks like it may be a tooth problem, as she is having
trouble eating grass (her favourite) She chews and chews and the
grass just doesn't go into her mouth. Poor little thing!
Okay, I am off to continue my ring-around to find a vet who has some
GP experience.
Please say a little piggy prayer for Suki pig,
Emma & Suki
