guinea pig dragging leg

Question
my 1 week old guinea is dragging her leg. what should i do? is she too young to take vitamin c?

Answer
If she is dragging her leg it's highly unlikely it has anything to do with Vit C deficiency. The most common cause is an injury. If it's just one leg she may have injured her hip. Sometimes that resolves itself, but there isn't anything you can do for her. Hopefully it will correct itself.

An injury like this does not necessarily ruin their chances for an otherwise normal life. Animals don't know enough to feel sorry for themselves. They just accept what life has given them and go on.

She is still nursing at one week old. You don't want to interfere with her mom supplying her with all the nutrients she needs. Just keep your fingers crossed that she will get better on her own.
