Help! My Pig Won't Eat

Yeah maybe :( they eaten about 15ml of mushy food each so far could it be vit c deficiency I've not been feeding them there regular food and they gone fussy with other veg and mostly eat cucumber ?
 
So have they literally been eating cucumber and hay? for how long?

How much do they weigh and how old are they?

Calcium deficiency is a possibility but in my experience it usually affects their legs not their ability to pick up food.
 
Well they eat other food too but the last two days I would say they stopped clearing the bowl.

I will weight them now and two years!

I have a vet appointment tomorrow also
 
That's a good weight, if you weigh them daily while they are poorly it will help.
 
Oki great I will do that :) they are the same as last week so no weight loss yet which is good right?
 
Both are trying to eat this morning :) I have added vitamins to there food and water which I think has helped :)
 
It's good they are trying, are they actually managing it though? Do you still have your vet appointment?
 
Yes there managing veg and hay I'm still feeding mushed up solid food and yes still have appointment
 
That there was not obvious signs of dental fungal issue but if they start to go backward again then call up n they will try with some pain relief n antibiotics x
 
They are much better eating alone now :) althought Morgan does like it mushed up still so I am still giving it him like that as well as normal food also 10ml of water each every 3/4 hours as I'm not 100% sure who drinking most of the water n it's been quite warm !
 
Hey guys piggys are now100% but I'm confused as I never found out what it was :S but in my heart I think it was due to calcium deficiency / diet as it happend shortly after a change of food to a cheap brand plus cucumber not that high on calcium and that there fave veg ... Ifeel terrible thinking I did this to them :( I have learnt my lesson now and make sure lots of vit c veg on offer n top brand food n drops in water!
