Hi everyone!
Last week my piggie has been limping and is holding up one of her front legs when standing.

We went to the vet and the vet said it wasnt a fracture or a broken bone, but just a sprain. He also prescribed some anti inflammatory and pain relief medicine.

Its been 10 days already, but my piggie still hasnt completely recovered :( She can sometimes walk around completely fine but sometimes lift her front leg up again when standing.

How long do piggies need to recover from a sprained leg? And should I get some more medicine from the vet? the prescribed medicine lasts up to today
 
It would be a good idea to return to the vet if you arent seeing any improvement after this amount of time. How long an injury takes to recover from is going to depend upon the severity of the injury so its not really possible to compare it to others - I’ve had one fully better within 5 days (was given a 7 day course of anti inflammatories).

What painkiller was your piggy given and what dose?
 
Got it!

Meloxicam 0.1ml and Tremadol 0.02ml, each twice per day

My piggie looks completely recovered and fine walking around two days ago, but then the next day she showed a bit of limping again :/
