[Gpdd] Health: flying pig

[Chizeck, Susan P]

I have had a flying pig myself.  I was holding Mattie in a towel and
when he saw his cage he got so excited he leapt from my arms to the
cage.  However, he missed the cage, hit the side and fell to the ground,
about 3 feet down.  He sat there stunned.  Since he didn't cry when
touched or picked up, we ended up putting him back in his cage and he's
been fine for years.  I think it made his hip feel funny, but no one
else concurs with me.  They seem to be adaptable creatures!

>>>>n update on Honey -

 

I was holding honey near her cage...and my brother accidently opened a
door 

too quickly and it scared Honey! She jumped out of my lap towards the
cage, 

and her stomache hit a divider in the cage. She then fell backwards and 

landed on her side. The total distance she fell was less than a metre
but i 

was so worried about her. I've checked her out and she appears to be 

uninjured. She's quite frightened of me now, but all will be well in
time.

 

happy days to all! justine
