Looking for advice.
Took one of my piggies to the vet today as they had seemed wobbly and unstable for a couple of days.
Actually worse (I thought) than it had appeared to me when placed on a flat surface. Not bearing any weight on back legs and not much on front legs. But weirdly quite perky otherwise and scooting around on her tummy. Not off food.
I expected the vet to suggest euthenasia but they didn't and have sent me home with Loxicom and suggested I contact them in a week.
I'm really not sure if this is in her best interest. I think the vet was reluctant to put her down as she is otherwise a bright perky girl. Piggie is aged about 5 and a half years.
Any thoughts? Is it likely she'll perk up?
