still struggling to get her to eat her hay continuously seems very sleepy and can hear her grind teeth, could it be teeth issues? is this something i need to find a specialist vet for? shes eating all veg, in-fact goes mad for it! drinking too and being a taking meds + syringing critical care.. shes definitely got a lot of fight in her which I'm hoping means she is still eating enough…

Teeth grinding can also be a sign of pain elsewhere in the body than specifically dental issues.
If she wasn’t displaying dental issues before her surgery then it would be pretty unlucky for it to have occurred spontaneously since.

The daily weight checks are your guide to intake

her weight is slowly increasing, but I'm not seeing her eating very much and shes fighting off the critical care after 1ml to the point it’s distressing trying to feed.. i understand nobody can advise on pain meds and it must be okayed from vet but is there anything i could ask for / could her current meds be upped if anyone has good knowledge about this? i wont up them just want to suggest to vet as unfortunately we cant see our pig vet today

she weighed in 854 today, currently prescribed: 0.3ml dog metacam x2 a day
0.09ml gabapentin x2 a day

again this is not me asking anyone to tell me what to up them too, rather if it sounds safe to up / introduce something else!

The vet would need to make the determination on whether it’s safe.
Dosages come down to clinical need as much as weight

i understand, it was more for me to know if it was safe because the vet isn’t knowledgeable in piggies

None of us are qualified to be able to make the determination of whether it’s safe
