Hi,
My fatty 3-year old female piggy had continuous weight loss over the past 4 months. She was 1200g and she is now 980g.
She had her first tummy upset in January, when her fellow piggy was separated for a surgery. Since then, I only feed her very few fresh veges, and cut down the pellets amount. I also feed her Bene-Bac. But she still sometimes have soft pop and continue losing weight. When she was about 1080g, I brought her to the vet, but didn't find out any underlying issues. Since then, I feed her 1g of Bene-Bac and half piece of Oxbow Natural Science Digestive Support every day.
She is still very energetic. Every time I show up, she will run towards me and stand up to beg for food. But if I give her hay, she will throw it away and continue standing and begging. She is now very picky on hay, and prefer hard stems to soft leafs, which is opposite from her normal self. She will sniff on each hay and pick only one. Though she is still eating on her own, I believe she is not having enough food. She is on Timothy hay, a spoon of pellets and tiny piece of vege each day. I also give her VC supplements, as she doesn't have enough veges.
Could anybody suggest what I should do? Am I feeding her right and is there any good ways to gain weight without upsetting her digestive system? Or any advice on possible reason for losing weight? Thank you!
