limping

Hi guys, I’ve just noticed my 4.5 year old pig Sunny is limping and not putting any weight on her front left foot. Please see picture attached with her normal right foot for comparison. I’ll be booking a vet appointment in the morning but in the meantime does it look like it could be bumble...

Hello, Today my 6 week old guinea pig suddenly started limping in morning front left foot. We went to the vet and they said XRAY shows the humerus and long bones are good, but hard to see the wrist bones, likely a sprain, (gave Gabapentin) and small cage rest separate from his 2 brothers (6...

I noticed my youngest girl Evie was limping yesterday and holding up her back leg. I checked and couldn’t feel any obvious breaks or swelling. As the vet was closed yesterday and today, and she was eating, drinking and behaving normally I decided to keep an eye on her for the time being. Switch...

Due to what the vet thinks is genetic, my girl Cashew stopped walking on her back left leg a few days ago out of nowhere - no accidents, no external injuries, and no other illnesses. After multiple x-rays, the vet found that her joint surfaces are becoming rough near the knee and that the gaps...

Two days ago, my guinea pig's (F) foot got stuck in between the cage bars. Now she's limping and holding it up whenever she lies down. I think it's a sprain because she can still put some weight on it without crying out and when I checked it, it didn't seem to have any broken bones nor looked...

Hello, I own two male guinea pigs Calvin and Hobbes. I adopted them 1 - 2 years ago the shelter was unaware of their age so I sadly do not know their current exact age. Today Hobbes squeaked loudy and I found Calvin in the hut with him, I picked Hobbes up and my placed him on my stomach because...

Hello, So, its been 3 weeks now and all this started with him limping/walking funny, and falling to one side constantly. I was concerned and brought him to the vet to only have them tell me that they think he had blisters at the bottom of his feet or something along the lines of that. They...

Hello, I just found my guinea pig limping. She was laying and when I was cleaning she didn't come looking at what I was doing as always. Then she had to move because I was cleaning and I saw her limping. She has one front foot in the air and sometimes licks it. Sometimes she stands on it, but...

This morning I let my two girls out on the floor and realised that Willow was avoiding putting weight on one of her back legs. She's otherwise fine, eating, drinking and even still running around like crazy, but either holding that leg up or being very careful on it. I've already made a vet...

Please help! My 2 10 month old boars are worrying me and I need advice.... they've struggled with dominance in the past but Winston has always been top pig. Now Fred's unwell and it's all going downhill..... Fred appears to be having trouble with one back leg - I noticed him sleeping at funny...

I cannot believe the run of bad luck both Beans and Toast are having, Beans is really getting it hard just now though I could cry. In the space of a month I've had her at the vets (usually emergency vets) 4 times. 1st because she temporarily lost the use of her back legs due to pain from...

Hi guys Around a week ago I thought Baby looked a little weird when she was walking about. It's almost like she's limping, so I grabbed her to get a closer look at her, checked her all over, moved her legs to see if there was any problem moving them but they move fine. The only thing I could...

Hi everyone It's been a while since I've been on here just looking for some advice if I may. One of my youngest piggies had an injury a few months back that the vet described as a sprained elbow. He was on painkillers for 5 days and recovered well. Now this evening we have noticed him limping...

Earlier today I was grooming my 4 year old female Guinea pig,Sunny, on their normal grooming table when she jumped off. The table is only about not even two feet above the ground. She didn't land too hard, but she did land on laminate tile. When she fell she didn't wheej or squeal in distress. I...

So, I have a guinea pig named Caramel, and she is 5 and will be 6 in about 2 or 3 months. (Nobody knows her real birthday.) She seems to be going through pain lately, and I hate to see her like this. She has been sort of hopping, sort of limping on her back legs instead of walking on them, and...
