Earlier today I was grooming my 4 year old female Guinea pig,Sunny, on their normal grooming table when she jumped off. The table is only about not even two feet above the ground. She didn't land too hard, but she did land on laminate tile. When she fell she didn't wheej or squeal in distress. I did notice when I put her back she wouldn't put weight on her front right leg/paw. It's been a few hours now with no improvement. She moves around the cage perfectly fine, and pretty fast. She's eating and drinking. I separated her in a 1 by 2 space from her cagemate. Is it worth it to bring her to the vet right away? After inspecting it, there was no swelling and when I lightly touched it she didn't flinch or squeal. I'm really worried. Should I take her to the vet? What would you do? She can't die can she? I'm so worried for my baby.
 
She may have sprained it or something along those lines, I would keep an eye on her till the Monday and make an appointment with the vet for that day if you can so they can have a look and give you some metacam(painkiller) for her x
