Swollen Paw

[PopcatThePetCarer]

I have a Guinea Pig which has a swollen paw on it's front right paw. Its nail either fell off or it somehow grew shorter. It was completely covered in blood. The guinea pig however doesn't look like it's having a problem walking on it. This was my first time having a guinea pig and I am very scared I did something wrong in not trying to find out how to treat it earlier. Please help.

The best thing is to have a vet check it out. Please don’t try any home treatments for any issue and instead please do see a vet.

Welcome to the forum.
I agree with @Piggies&buns - you should see a vet.
A vet can reassure you and give any treatment needed.
Hopefully it’s nothing serious.
Please let us know how things go.
Holding you in my thoughts

Please get the piggy seen by a vet. There has clearly been some sort of injury and you may need antibiotics.
