Question
i have a 7 week old potbellie pig i took her out for a walk about 3 pm now all she been doing is sleeping and every time she get up and walk her front legs goes is that because shes tired

Answer
Let her rest, feed her as usual. A 7 week old piglet should weigh about 7 lb and be eating about 1/2 cup of pot-bellied pig pellets, divided into two meals, plus veggies and training treats.

Give her a day or two to recover. On the next walks, don't let her walk so far, especially on hard surfaces like concrete or asphalt. Check her feet for signs of injury.

If her feet are injured, or she still hasn't recovered in a day or two, take her to a vet at once.
