Make an appontment with your vet straight away to get checked out. Note: Try to make the appointmen on the same day, I.E straight away.
Hope that helps! x
Brought my guinea pig to vet, he made the poor fella way worse, if he had'nt got a broken leg when i went in, it was in bits by the time the vet had finished, he could'nt do anything for him, but applied so much pressure to the leg, that the whole leg was hanging when he finished, his foot was only slightly turned outwards when I brought him in! My advice is STAY AWAY FROM VETS
yes it can suffer from the same trauma as humans and a broken leg untended can infect and lead to a great deal of suffering for the poor thing
Sometimes guinea pigs lose the use of their back legs. This is somewhat common and is not a sign of injury. If the guinea pig is dragging itself around, administer a dose of liquid calcium. This seems to solve the problem.
A broken leg in a guinea pig may not heal properly without a splint or some form of stabilization. It is recommended to consult a veterinarian for proper treatment to ensure the leg heals correctly and the guinea pig can recover fully.
It is not advisable to wait overnight with a baby guinea pig with a broken leg. A broken leg can cause significant pain and distress, and prompt veterinary care is necessary to prevent further complications and ensure proper treatment. Contact an emergency vet if necessary.
Guinea pigs usually lower themselves slowly to the ground, bending their front legs, followed by their back legs. Once down, they may adjust their position for comfort by stretching out or curling up. They may also kneel to rest their body weight.

It Depends On What Is Wrong With Your Guinea Pig
so they can see higher
It falls on its side because guinea pigs have leg length discrepancy, meaning one leg is shorter than the other.
Dogs eat the same food when they have broken legs as they do when their legs are not broken. A broken leg does not require any special diet.
see a vet about it.

Broken legs will generally have swelling due to how the bone heals and repairs itself.
It means the leg is broke so you should take it to the doctor.....
