[Stones] CARE: piggies losing weight because of bladderstones

[ABSiev at aol.com]

Hi Cindy - he won't eat well if he's in pain, and bladder stones hurt!  If 
you could get your hands on some Metacam, it would definitely help (they will 
give you pain meds for him after the surgery, but he could use it now).  
 
I will tell you that my Skippy has never gotten back to his top weight since 
he began having stones, but he does eat well and is ok.  He is also 4. 
Sometimes pigs slim down a bit as they age anyway...
 
Amy
