[Gpdd] [HEALTH] Doris not eating

[pat schuett]

Thanks so much for your supportive message -- I am feeling pretty frazzled right now, just not knowing what to do for Doris.  
 
She does not seem to be either improving or getting worse at the moment, nibbled a little hay yesterday and ate maybe one sprig of cilantro this morning.  The syringe feeding is not going very well, and I'm worried I'm not getting enough into her to keep her digestive system going.  I wish I could see what is sparking her appetite from time to time and work on that!
 
                                                                                            Pat S.

Dear Pat and Doris

Whee hope that dear little Doris manages to eat more food for you.
I do wonder if it could be her molars? but if she's not going to
cooperate it maybe hard to find the problem :o(
It could be her age as well....i know everyone else's piggies that are
elderly tend to slow right down and not seem to want to eat.
Please know that whee will be thinking of you both, sending hugs hugs,
loves and healing wheeeks for Doris

Glynis, Velvet and Onyx (in mem Sully and Duke) xxxx
