Please take him to a vet immediately he must be in a great deal of pain if you are on benefits a pdsa registered vet will sort it out for free they usually only ask for a small donation if anything at all

Awwww !, poor wee piggy, unless you are a vet, with a full veterinary surgery, staff and all the other necessary trimmings in the front room in your house, then you cant fix him yourself. Take him to a vet ASAP for proper diagnosis and treatment. I am aware that vet fees are pretty pricey, if this is a problem ( with respect ), your local PDSA clinic should be able to help him for just a donation. Hope your furry friend gets better soon. Good luck.

DOn;t be so cruel and see a vet. You can fix a broken limb yourself! Chances are your guinea pig is in pain so bring him to the vet asap

Yeah sounds like a stroke. My guinea pig had a stroke and her front leg was paralyzed. Vet said she wasn't in any pain so we let her live on with 3 legs........ Take yours to the vet and DON'T try to splint it!

Aww! The poor little guy! You should pick him up and take him straight to the hospital, they can set his leg or figure out if this was another type of injury he sustained (i.e. stroke). There's really no way for you to do it yourself because if you do try to do it yourself (which I hope you won't) then his leg will be deformed for the rest of his life, since it would heal like that, and he wouldn't be able to use it for the rest of his life. I hope that your piggy will be okay.

if he is sqeaking in pain, yes see a vet!
but once my guinea-pig was dragging both it's legs, i went to see a vet and it had to be put down because it had paralised it's hips, i'm just warning you!

Take him to the vets but be prepared because I think the only way to treat it is to put him to sleep ( kill him with a drug)

if you love your pet take it to the vet. they can tell you for sure what is wrong with it. if it can be fixed they fix it, if not they can put it to sleep and out of pain.
