I wouldn't stop feeding veggies altogether because you may end up with a pig with scurvy.
I do give himthe liquid vitamins.....im not sure exactly how effective that is but he gets a constant supply. what other conditions have the signs i mentioned??

as far as testing him, i dont know about the blood glucose test but the vet did attempt to extract a urine sample....he was too squirmy, though...
