I got a baby friend for my boar on satuday and we were putting it in its new cage when stupid me thought it would be a good idea to introduce it to my other piggies baby friend because they had come from the same litter in the rescue so i thought they would know each other. Yet i tried to do it on the top of the hutch. the new piggy got so scared and ran right off the side of the hutch, we got him quickly enough and put him back in the hutch. yesterday i checked him and he was running, talking and very slightly eating on us (progress!) so he seems fine. we rang up the vets up yesterday and they had no free openings so we rang today on the bank holiday but all they have is emergency appiontments but they cost alot. the rest of most of the week my mum and dad is at work and the local vet is really bad with guinea pigs. is there anything i can do, i have checked for broken bones and he didnt squeal, I'm just so worried :...:...

If he is walking around fine and seems fine (eating and doesn't seem in pain, active, etc.) then I wouldn't worry, it sounds like his legs are fine and all.
That must have been scary. One of my guinea pigs once got attacked by his friend so he jumped out of his cage and fell about 4 or 5 foot down onto the floor of the shed
He was fine, but I was terrified thinking he'd have broken his legs or something.
