Friday just was not my day at all (see general chat for post!) Took Stig to the vet to access how he is getting over his respiratory infection, he's not!
It's not getting any better nor is it getting any worse. My vet is FANTASTIC, he know his piggies and he is a wee gem!
He looked at him straight away he said he was skinny, not too skinny. But it wouldn't do him any favours not eating as well as being ill. He's 480g and my vet says he wants to see him back in 2 week nearing 550g! But i have noticed he not eating as much, my vet thinks Winston could be bullying him, so they are separated again! I've bought the Burgees Excel, so i'm weening them off P@H pellets.
He is eating his veggies but maybe a bit of cucumber and his parsley. I keep putting some red pepper down in the vain hope he will eat it(as i contains a lot of vit C) but he has a nibble and won't bother with it.

Just wanting him to get better....could do with a better weekend tbh!
 
Aswell as the critical care mentioned above you could also soak oats and try giving them (cooled if soaked with hot water) to Stig - I think oats are good for weight gain and I used them with my Toffee when she was needing a weight gain and under 500g.

I think its worth trying this aswell as the critical care though as the critical cares got lots of good nutrients in it which wouldnt be in the oats alone.

Hope he starts to improve soon,
xx
 
oh bless him, silly thing but have you tried different coloured peppers. Peter doesnt touch the green (or many green things for that matter) but will nom down red pepper faster than anyone
 
Oh dear.......... Stig you are so worrying your mummy :...

THe girls and I send lots of wheeeky loves for little Stig XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Eat up big Stig :)
