limping and hopping

[Guinea pig love123]

Gary my 2 year old guinea pig is limping every so often and sometimes hopping two if it doesn't get better I will take him to a vet and I have filmed him limping incase it magically stops does anyone have any advice it's in his left hind leg

Please don’t wait to see if It gets better, it’s best to take him straight to the vet for a diagnosis. He may need pain killers

Limping and hopping could be anything from a sore toe to a mild sprain to a badly broken leg, so a vet check in the next 24 hours is definitely needed. Piggies hide pain and injuries well, so if he is visibly limping things may be worse than they seem- hopefully not, but only a vet can say for sure.
We adopted a piggy with a slight limp who turned out to have a broken leg that hadnt been treated at all, she had bravely limped around with a major leg break for over 3 months because her owner didnt think it was serious and piggies hide psin so well... that must have been agony for the poor girl, so limpy old Clover says please see a vet and get an xray and some pain relief!
