You'll need to get a vet to take a look at it. nobody will be able to let you know what's happened without a hands on examination and possibly an x-ray.

Hi! Welcome to the forum!

I'm so sorry to hear that your piggy is hurt. I would call your vet and get an appointment to have her checked out.

Please have your piggy seen by a vet. If she is refusing to fully weight bear then she is likely experiencing some pain.
I hope she is ok. Let us know how you get on

Sorry to hear she has a hurt leg. I hope it's nothing serious, but better get that piggy to the vet asap.
And welcome to the forum! Hope you find this forum very handy (as I do).

Hi! My Lily also has a limp currently. It's a standard sprain, but it's still important to get your pigs checked by a vet, they can make sure it's nothing too serious and then prescribe your piggy (anti-inflammatory) painkillers to help with healing, if it's a classic sprain.
