Leg got caught

[Ramia]

Stripe's leg got caught while he was zooming. He doesn't seem to be limping but I think he's a little shocked. He just wants to lie down in his playpen. He's chutting and eating and able to crawl on my lap.

Would he definitely be limping if he had a broken bone? I see no limping. He just jumped up and down on my lap.

Try not to worry. If he’d broken his leg, you’d know as he’d be limping / holding up his leg.

Just keep an eye on him and if you notice any change in his behaviour, he may warrant a visit to the vet but I do not think you have anything to worry about x

Hi

Please take a deep breath. He is a little shocked but not in any major sort of pain - which he would be if had broken a bone - and more crucially he would not be able to put any weight on a broken weight-bearing bone.

Little accidents with zooming piggies happen just the same as with physically active children. They are normally harmless.

Thanks guys, he's popcorning. I think he's fine.
