Jocelyn- I'm not sure exactly what may be going on with Gruden but you could try some canned pumpkin. Not the pie filling, just plain canned pumpkin. I used to just put it on a spoon & Mimi would lick it off. Or I'd put it on a paper plate & she'd eat it off there. Piggies seem to like canned pumpkin. I hope he feels better soon.~Jaime~
