Re: [pyrnet] Getting a Pyr to Eat

I'm definitely going to try this, thanks Barb.  :)

By the way, why is WV so infested with worms?  Would it be all the livestock 
and wildlife?  Also, what does the vet need to do to check and make sure she 
doesn't have a digestive or absorpsion problem too?

I've heard that spreading "lime" (guess I spelled it right) on the ground 
helps keep worms away too, think that would help?

Thanks again!
Chrissy  :)
