My guinea pig (patch)

Question
he has a swollen foot and his nail looks like it is sticking out. Should i take it to the vet or to a breeder or what?

Answer
yes i would take it to the vet, there are a few things that might cause that, one of those is a condition called bumble foot, bumblefoot is caused by the living conditions, sharp things on the floor of the cage like a wire cage and or hard or coarse sawdust may cause it, otherwise it is likly that the toe is broken, in which case the guinea pig should be fine though it is always a good idea to have a vet look it over.
