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’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.
