Can anyone help me locate one of these: http://www.guineapigtoday.com/2011/12/08/guinea-pig-wheelchairs-assist-pets-with-limited-mobility/
It looks like Liquorice is in this for the long haul :(

She's eating and drinking ok, not in pain and is interacting with the other piggies, which is why I want to give her the chance to regain her mobility. She's shown signs of feeling her back legs and feet, but is reluctant to use them, so I need to set up something to help her run around with the others again in the mean time.
 
Would it be an option to amputate her leg? sorry if it is not. I was just wondering.
 
That would mean both back legs then :( She has some movement, but not enough.. she needs water therapy I think, but I was going to give her another week for the injury to settle down, then start that.
 
Oh poor thing. She really has been through a lot. I imagine the wheelchairs cost a fortune. :(
