Bbay guinea pig

Question
Our guinea pig gave birth yesterday to two babies.  One of the babies appears to have trouble walking, its front feet are folding inward and her back toe seems to be broken.  The other baby is fine and walking around.   But the injured one just stays in the house.  Is there anything you would suggest I do about it.. Should I take her to the vet or pet store?
Please let me know your thoughts.  It does seems to be nursing though.

Thanks.

Answer
Julie --

I would probably take this animal to the vet -- it was probably injured during birth.  What the vet should be able to tell you is what exactly is wrong and whether or not the condition will get better.  This is your first line of defense.

Your other option is a "wait and see" approach.  You can just watch and wait to see if she gets better on her own before you take her to the vet, but remember, if the injuries are serious, you are taking a chance.

Hope this is helpful.  If you have any more questions, please feel free to contact me.  Good luck!
