Julie- I have a couple thoughts on your problem with Archie's teeth. 1st, tomatoes can be very acidic & could be causing the soreness in your piggies mouth. Also, make sure he has free access to timothy hay at all times. This helps to keep the back molars ground down & prevent overgrowth. Instead of baby food, you may want to try giving him Critical Care. Your vet should be able to provide you with this. If he won't take it from the syringe, just put it into his food bowl or on a plate & let him lick it up. That's how my Molly prefers hers. Only you will know when Archie is ready to cross the bridge. He will tell you. We will definitely keep you in our prayers. Keep us posted. ***JAIME***, Molly the new pig in town! & Albert always in my heart. http://www.piggiepages1.blinkz.com/
