My piggy might be at risk

Question
My piggy accidentally chewed a little bit of my phone cord my grandma was holding her and I guess she fell asleep and had the phone right next to her so my piggy chewed a little bit of the phone cord. Is my piggy going to be ok she's acting normal eating and drinking normally but she's also pregnant is she at risk or will she be ok? PLEASE HELP ME THIS IS URGENT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Answer
As long as she is eating, drinking and acting normal there should be no problem. There could be bad chemicals used on the phone cord though so that is the thing to watch for. I have seen many of my animals some how manage to chew on cords and still be fine. If any chemical in the cord was going to affect the pig it would happen with in the first 12 hours, and would most likely cause seizures. I would just keep a close eye on her, both eating drinking and feces. Let me know if you have any more questions.
