Taking Cuzzy back the vet!

Hi All,
Cuzzy seemed a bit low this morning, not interested in veg although nipped a piece of apple so I gave him so cc and he woofed the lot!
I still think he is frightened to eat and although he has been eating hay he hasn't been getting his vit c through the veggies so I will cc him until I am satisfied.
I've just give him another lot of cc and now he is back in his cage munching carrot sticks but not sure how many he will actully eat but its good news that way!
He is pooping, although a lot smaller than usual. I'm not overly concerned he is coming down with anything, he just looks a bit sad, perhaps he is just getting his strength back! Peter thinks maybe he now needs a friend (little rumbled at me before...lol) he may be right but I'll see how he goes.

Ralfie looks sad too Louise, feel so mean not being able to put Sephy in, if its only the Vit C you're concerned about you could give him an orange flavoured vitamin tablet, Ralf loved them or just syringe baby food to suplement. Jus incase the cc is filling him up so he doesnt want to eat if you get me? I dont know though you know him better than me! Hope he starts eating a bit more for you x
Thaks Emma, yes that is a good point, the cc could fill him but yesterday he only ate a piece of celery that was about 5cm in size. He ate loads of hay though. Just checked on him again and he is eating cucumber. I guess with double infections it is a slow process.
Well better right my shopping list. Peter is working midday to middnight so got to go shopping myself with 2 children and look after Cuzzy as well as the other 4! It's none stop but isn't it better to be busy!
Hope Ralfie bucks up!

Lol Ralf has 3 infections at the mo but it would take nuclear warfare to put him off his food completely! Ive just watched him eat 3 spinacj leaves in about 2 seconds ;D Though i must say he does eat less veg than he used to 
there's nothing worse than willing them to eat but them not wanting it so i know how you've been feeling! good luck with the shopping it sounds fun ;D hope all the pigguns and the girls are ok xxxxx
