Pigtures say a thousand words...

Never tried Fibreplex, is that like CC or something you'd give along side it?
Is this it?

Yep that's it...
It's just a paste that's REALLY high in fibre... You can get it from the vets and it's good to give to the piggies that arnt eating too well... :... Just means they are getting some form of fibre for their little guts... give it a couple times a day along side CC...
I highly recommend it...

Oh that's great. So glad she's eating for herself too. :laluot_06:
Wally's still not eaten anything for himself
More syringing in a minute.:laluot_08:
I'm giving him a few more hours at home with syringing because it took him 48 hours to pull out of a post operative funk last time but if he doesn't start eating for himself by this evening he will have to go back to the vets. Finger's crossed he starts perking up today.

Fingers firmly crossed...!
Atleast he's taking a bit from the syringe...!... Little steps...
Have you tryed feeding him really small bits of veg...? Like one piece of grated carrot...?
And depending how wriggly he is... Could you pop a really soft pellet in his mouth...?

I've tried tiny bits of chopped up veg, he's not interested. Will try him with a bit more grass, that's his favourite nosh.

Glad Evie is getting better, lots of love to both Evie and little Wally also. Can definately agree that fibreplex is ace..

 

[AndreaJane]

I ordered some from Animed last night, hope it arrives in the morning.

Okay... Can you actually out little bits of food in his mouth...?
Or is he being a wriggle monster...?...
How's he looking in himself...?

I managed to get a bit of pulped apple in his mouth from my finger but he was very reluctant to chew it, as soft as it was. He just wants to sleep so I'm having to keep feeding him with the syringe because he won't do it himself. As for how he seems in himself, really just VERY tired and doesn't want to be disturbed. Not in a state of distress like Yoshi was when he wasn't eating, more of a " just leave me alone, I'm exhausted and ALL I want to do is sleep" type of behaviour. Just given him a feed, he's tucked up in his bed now, I'll feed him again in a hour or so if he doesn't eat anything himself.
