: Don't remember if anyone else mentioned this OR if it is necessary BUT.....was thinking that maybe you should give him calcium supplement and regular vitamin supplement more often for a bit to help build up his immune system. As an adult ig, if you use these most people give once a week (unless gravid female). So I was thinking that maybe GG should have maybe 2 or 3x for a week. But then I'm no vet :O)

He's getting the suppliments starting today. Just wanted to get him eating again before hitting him with the extras. He's recovering faster than I'd hoped. He was out for a little over a week, a couple of nights going into the 30s and the rest of them in the 40s. He's pretty well re-hydrated and while he's not the pig he was, he's at least coming back and will soon be his old, aggrevating self.

Something odd, or perhaps not: He is a lot "wilder", for lack of a better word. He appears to have forgotted his routine and objects strongly to handling. Intresting behavior, but again, I bleed.

Again, thanks,

filthy
