My pig hadn't been eating as much as normal the last several days, and she had a little stuff around her eyes once (like two days ago). Today she was lying on her side, holding her back left leg in the air and whining. After I moved her Pigloo and petted her for a while she stood up and hobbled/limped over to her food, which she barely nibbled. She had a little water, and now she's just sitting in the corner of the cage. I haven't ever taken her to the vet (my parents don't think she needs to be going just for check-ups), so I don't necessarily have a vet who can take her short-notice.
What should I do?? Thank you!
