Yesterday I noticed Chip wasn't using his back right foot/leg. I inspected him for injury and didn't see any. I was able to move his leg and hip joint around without any indication of pain, so I believe the cause is in his foot. It doesn't appear swollen or red, but obviously something is not right.
His normal vet is out of office until Thursday, so I was given another recommendation of a vet that could handle guinea pigs. I'm a little leary, but this can't wait. We have an appointment at 3:30pm (EST) today.
Can anyone provide me with information regarding pig safe medications? I'd like to know ahead of time in case the vet wants to give him either a pain killer or anti-inflammatory/steriod medication to help him out.
