Hi. One of my male guinea pigs got bitten by his cage mate. His foot was bleeding a lot, and I tried to disinfect it with a saline solution. Is there anything else I can do for my piggy's injury?
Thanks,
Natalie
 
I think that other than disinfecting it and keeping a very close eye on it there isn't much more you can do.
Obviously if it looks red or swollen or feels hot he may have an infection, and will need to see a vet for treatment.

Are the boys separated now so they can't have further fights and injure each other?
 
I would consider getting it checked out depending how bad it is. Keep it clean and it should hopefully heal okay.
 
Yes, they are separated. Thank you for your advise. It doesn't look like it has an infection.
