Kaycee - so glad to hear that Kurley is getting her appetite
back. Could it be a fresh carrot? I've found, on the rare
occasions when I sneak one of their baby carrots, that
some batches taste better, sweeter, than others. That
would help, anyway.
On the pellets - while it is generally accepted that the
timothy based pellets are better for adult piggies, I don't
think I would think of them as adding weight. Either way,
I don't like to abruptly switch feed. Can you mix her fav
pellets with the timothy pellets for a while? This may not
be a good time to stress her over the pellets. (Of course,
as long as you are catering to her every whim otherwise...)
As for the rabies question ... some of you beat me to it,
but that's what I was going to say. Could be technically
possible, but after all, they have to be exposed in the
first place. When I first asked my vet what shots they
would need, like rabies, he looked at me and laughed.
"Just keep them inside" he said. And as others said, it
would probably do more harm than good if you did give
them the shot - your apt mgr just didn't understand them
(get him on here - we'll enlighten him!). Yes, I would
think a letter from your vet should suffice.
Congrats to all on birthdays and anniversaries and special
honors (Pet of the Day! Wow!), Get Well Wishes and
piggie hugs'n'kisses (sorry, our online time is so limited!)
