Poorly piggie

[piggie mad]

On Monday evening when i returned form work i noticed one of my piggies was not wanting to eat. He was just going under his fleece and not his normal self...I took him tues to the vet who said he had a gastro intestinal problem. He had a couple of injections and i was given some food with fibre to feed him with a syringe and some pro biotic also to be given by a syringe. Since monday he has just sat not wanting to do anything. He had another two injections on wed and I have fed him as instructed and take him up to bed on a night to keep an eye on him but he just wont eat. Today is the first day he has had a pooh so I'm hoping his gut is starting to work again. Has anyone else had this problem and is there anything else i can do to help my little piggie. I just want him well again.

How much have you been (hand) feeding him in day? He needs about 120ml in recovery foods or solids over the course of 24 hours in order to keep his weight. Keep him off any fresh food for the time being.

Not making any poos for 4 days is a very long time. Have you been weighing him daily? Have you also been syringing water, so he doesn't dehydrate?
