Guinea Pig is Limping on Left Front Foot

[graceguineas]

Hello
As I was getting up from the couch with my Guinea, Tilly, she jumped out of my arms onto the floor. She didn't squeal or anything but she started limping on her left front foot and barely puts any pressure on it. The foot doesn't hurt but she can't bend it. I don't know what to do. I'm scared that she really hurt herself badly. She is eating fine and is drinking but is still limping. I'm also a first time Guinea owner so I'm very new to this. I'm not sure how to treat this.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I would take her to the vet to be checked over and given pain meds. No one can diagnose over the internet I'm afraid. Keep her calm, put her food near her (including hay).

Welcome to our friendly forum. I agree with @Siikibam a visit to the vet is needed. Only a vet can diagnose what the problem may be.

Hi! Please see a vet for an examination and analgesics (painkiller and anti-inflammatory).
