Answer
Hi Kate,

I'm sorry to hear about your guinea pig, if you dropped her then she may of broken a leg or damamged apart of her body in a way, the only advice I can give to you is to watch for any change in her behaviour, such as limping, un-social or general un happiness. If any of these syptomns occur or you have any suspicions, I would reccommend taking her to a vet ASAP, but there is a high chance all that she is suffering from is a little bit of a shock. Hope this helps.

Matt
