Teenage Guinea Pig
Morning all. My poor Eric has been beaten up by my younger feisty himilayan. I found Eric with a bloody ear, mouth and big gash in his side behind his front leg last night looking rather shaken. I couldn't believe the damage. He's off to the vet later as I want the vet to look at the gash. I can't believe another pig could cause it, it's about 1.5 long as if someone's snipped a hole. It's not bleeding. I've just dabbed the wounds with some salt water. I gave him some baytril earlier in case of infection but want the vet to look at him. I can't see him wanting to stitch it, he'd have to put Eric out for that wouldn't he? Any advice? I've separated them just now and Eric has a nice big cage lined with towels and his wool basket. Sam doesn't have a mark on him. I'm not happy with him!
