So I just took out both my pigs for floor time while I cleaned & I noticed that one of my girls wont walk on her front left paw... 😭 she was just fine yesterday! What could have happened? Should I give it a few days before I bring her to the vet?? I looked at it to see if she had something in her paw..didny see anything. She doesnt like squeek or anything when you touch it.. help.

I'd just confine her in a smaller area of the cage and watch it for a day or two. If you see any signs of infection (redness, swelling, heat, pus, odor) then get her to a vet.

Is there anywhere in the cage that she could have caught/injured it?
