[Gpdd] [CARE] Piggie needs to gain weight

[Penny Charlesworth]

Hello Pam,

Sorry to read that Amos has been poorly. It has taken me a while to reply to 
you as we have been without power following bad weather but I see that Joan 
has already suggested Critical Care.

You don't say what his illness is but if his appetite is improving that has 
got to be a good sign. You don't mention syringing his feed but I assume 
that he is eating for himself.

Piggies can take quite a while to regain their normal weight following 
illness so as long as he is eating up lots of good hay and veggies he should 
begin to put on the weight slowly but surely.

I do hope that Amos will soon be better.

Best wishes to you both,

Penny and the Piggyfriends.
