Dropped piggie

[Sweet Potato]

I was carrying my little spud boy when he wriggled and jumped out of my arms. He's usually very calm when being handled so I didn't expect him to wriggle and I dropped him! He landed on the carpet but it's still not a very soft landing. He got frightened and hid in a corner and took a while to temp out with lettuce. He's eating and walking fine but I'm so worried. He's quite an old boy now and I'm so scared I might have hurt him. Is there anything I need to look out for incase he's hurt. I know I'm such a bad pig mum I can't believe I would be so careless with my little baby

I am so sorry you and Spud have had this frightening experience. You are certainly not a bad pig mum, accidents unfortunately happen.

Aw it's OK it's not your fault! I would just make sure he is eating, drinking, pooping and moving normally.
Basically anything unusual just pop him to the vets for a check up.
Try not to worry

I've felt him all over and I can't feel anything unusual and he's happy for me to touch him all over and is making happy squeaks

Hope it’s just fright and no injury.

I've put him back in the cage with his brother. He's well enough to scramble at the bars for snacks and he's happily munching hay now like nothing ever happened. I think it scared me more than him

It is always a shock isn't it!

Sounds as if you need a strong coffee and some chocolate - or a glass of wine

I’m sorry you have had an accident with Spud. Like the others have said keep a close eye on him and off to the vets if necessary.
