Possible Stroke?

[Alison Lockwood]

My piggy is nearly 5 years old and has just started dragging her leg. I've checked it over and can't see anything such as a wond and she doesn't seen to be in pain with it. I think her sight is affected as well and she is acting out of character. Could she have had a stroke?

Could she have after having a bad bang and maybe hurt her leg really bad and damaged her eyesight while at it?

Aslong as you try get her to the vets.
Hope everything gets better x

She may well have done. Best get her to the vets for a check up. She is an OAP in piggy terms.

Ditto to the above. It could also be arthritis, as that can affect older piggies and sometimes the symptoms come on quite suddenly.

Hi! Please see a vet for an examination. Be aware that the problem can start anywhere from the hip downwards.

A stroke usually affects a whole side of the body, including front and back legs and cause them to fall over.

Poor girl.
Hope it proves to be nothing serious.
