Let $\mathbb{Q}_p$ denote the $p$-adic integers. Let $V$ be a $\mathbb{Q}_p$-vector space and $Q : V \rightarrow \mathbb{Q}_p$ be a non-degenerate integral quadratic form. We say that the pair $(Q,V)$ is $\textbf{isotropic}$ if there exists $v \in V \setminus \{0\}$ such that $Q(v) = 0$. Let $$SO_Q(V) := \{ \sigma \in GL(V) : Q(\sigma x) = x \ \text{and} \ \det(\sigma) =1\}$$ be the special stabiliser group of the quadratic form $Q$. I would like to prove the following Lemma.
$\textbf{Lemma}$: Let $(Q,V)$ be isotropic. Then, $SO_Q(V)$ is not compact.
I know how to prove this for an isotropic quadratic form on a $\textbf{real}$ vector space. Anyone has a hint on how to prove it for $p$-adic vector spaces?
