It happened to me years ago, my pig jumped out of my hands just like a bar of soap and broke his front teeth on the floor .

She has broken it. The vet said there were 2 courses of action. We could have her PTS or confine her to a small cage for 3 weeks and let it heal. The bone has overlapped so she will have a shorter leg. We went with option 2. She is now in a bird cage and I have wrapped plaster round her leg as the vet didn't do anything to immobilise it. She said there is nothing that will stay on. But I thought it would be better to at least try and keep it still to give it some stability while it mends.

Evie seems very calm, sitting eating her hay and carrot. I've given her some cuttle bone and she has had a chomp on that. I figured extra calcium couldn't hurt.

I agree with Suze, our guineas, Popcorn and Cookie, are very squirmy.
I'd have gone with the same option and given her a chance, considering she's still young and can have years ahead of her. Good luck with it all Wendy. I know you'll do the best job you can with Evie.

To look at her you wouldn't think there was anything wrong. Bless her she's such a cutie and yes very wriggly. She throws herself about, twisting and rolling around when you stroke her, very active little pig indeed.
I'll do my very best Emma.
