Hi everyone, today my mum was checking the guinea pigs and there was a heavy piece of wood that acidently fell and it cliped Toffee's leg. He was limping but we cant tell if it is bruised or broken. How would you be able to tell? He is already on anti-inflamorties for an eye ulcear to so hopefully that will help the pain. Should we keep him seperated form his brothers just to give him a rest or will that be to stressful.
 
Just like with a human he needs an xray if you think it's broken.

A vet visit is best nonetheless as they'll be able to recommend the best course of action, which could involve separation.
 
Please take him to the vet, if it is broken he will be in a lot of pain and the vet is the best place. Sending healing vibes xx
