I need to get a one of my piggys to gain weight. He has not be able to eat due to teeth been broken and an abcess. Can i give him baby milk (sma gold)?
What else would fatten him up?
 
I use oxbow critical care for getting weight on pigs.

You can buy it from Thistle Cavies shop.
 
I always use diluted condensed milk( tinned milk like carnation) with brown bread soaking in it they love it, I give them a saucer once a day and its always gone, if they are ill or need a weight gain after illness,
 
How are things, Stroma?

If your guinea is reluctant to eat, I would suggest syringing liquid food (recovery food or fruit smoothie).
 
once your piggie can eat properly again, I would give him sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds, I was told due to the oils they include they fatten up piggies alot :)
