Hi my boyfriends little brother has a guinea pig and she leaped out of his arm she and twisted her leg I wasn’t present when it happen, but she’s limping on her left back leg. She’s eating and drinking lots of water I kind of felt it to see where it hurt, she can definitely feel it and I don’t think it’s dislocated. She doesn’t want put pressure on it at all but she’s tried. He wants to know if he absolutely has to bring her to the vet or if it’s just a sprain and will heal. I think he should even though it’s quite expensive.
 
He should absolutely take her to the vet. Regardless of what happened, only the vet can tell you what the proper course of action should be.
 
Unfortunately nobody can tell you over the internet if the leg will be ok or not. The piggy needd to see a vet asap. Is she a lone pig?
 
The piggy definitely needs to see a vet if only for a bit of pain relief as her leg is obviously very painful.
 
Definitely take her to the vet, if you don't it may get worse. Most vets do small animals.
