Conditions Oreo and Napoleon's Health Thread

[pigglesworth_palace]

Hi friends!
Napoleon just jumped out of my hands onto the hardwood floor from about eighteen inches up. I caught him and put him back in his cage. He's moving around normally, no signs of limping or anything. He's eating normally and playing around with his brother like he always does. I don't think he landed on his face or anything and everything seems normal. Do I have to get him seen by a vet immediately or should I just keep an eye on him? I've only had my pigs for about three weeks so we don't have a vet they see normally yet.
Thanks so much

If you don't see any obvious signs of injury or distress, then keep an eye on him. When you can, check his teeth to make sure he didn't break any. You dodged a bullet there, even a fall of only 18 in can seriously injure a guinea pig, and sometimes even fatally.

thank you so much! I will keep an eye on him and see if I can check his teeth
