- one pig at a time.
You don't necessarily have to force feed the CC. I have several elderly pigs that eagerly eat it right off of the spoon. Sidney, even when her belly was upset, has always loved CC and just chowed on it. I don't believe in force feeding unless it is a last resort and the pig is not eatting at all. Critical Care though is more like a suppliment, you don't have to syringe feed it, just mix it up in a bowl and feed with a spoon.
All of my pigs prefer their CC to be slightly warmed up instead of room temperature.

I have a couple of boars who eat their CC from a bowl! It does have to be the right mix of CC flavors and the right consistency, but they love it and beg for it every morning.
Oh I always serve it on a plate unless the animal is too sick to eat it that way. Piggy will eat it served any style (which is why his name is Piggy). Smudgie doesn't mind temperature but he loves it to be very watery and messy. He also dislikes getting his beard washed which is a problem but at least he has a good, healthy weight.

Same with Hamy, my Texel. Must have it sloppy, hates face washed, but only keeps weight on with daily bowl of CC. Wooly feels he must share, so I serve it in a low sided double cat dish so if they push each other away they each have a spot. ;-)

Every time I hold her I wonder if it will be the last time...I am having bad feelings about this.
She is on flagyl and albon, getting CC mixed with pedialyte and poop soup...what else can I do???
I love sitting and watching tv whith her...I twist her long locks of hair while she snuggles under me neck...I will miss that...my other 2 are short haired.
