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.
One way to differentiate between a hamster and a guinea pig is by size. Guinea pigs are typically larger than hamsters. Additionally, guinea pigs have rounded bodies with shorter legs compared to the more slender bodies and longer legs of hamsters. Hamsters also have shorter ears and tails than guinea pigs.
They have long bodies with short legs so it can get uncomfortable for them to climb a ramp.
They have 4 on their front feet and 3 on their back feet.
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
Take her to a vet immediately. There is something seriously wrong with her.
It means the leg is broke so you should take it to the doctor.....
He is obviously scared. When a dog holds a tail behind its legs then it is scared.

To stop it's stomach from dragging along the ground.
I'm no excactaly sure but it sounds bad.has she been eating somthing different or have a tragic event or gotten an injury latly?I suggest seeing a vet.Good luck!
Not really.
Sounds like maybe it was a spinal cord injury since it's legs were dragging. He may have fallen, or been stepped on. But either way, if it was in fact an injury to the spinal cord, there really isn't anything you can do for that. : ( Except be responsible and take the animal to a vet.
That is completely normal :)
They walk on four legs.
Look straight up; both of your legs are then "behind your head."
A kangaroo has 4 legs. It has two strong hind legs, and two small forelegs. Although kangaroos hop on their two rear legs, they can use all four and their tail for a slow, dragging 'walk'.
