One of my Guinea pigs has a big cut on the back of his neck, does anyone have any advice on how to treat it?
He went to the vet earlier this week as his hair was falling out and he was very itchy and was scratching himself until he bled. They gave him some flea/mite etc treatment, and he’s on antibiotics.
However, whilst the moulting has stopped and he’s less itchy he keeps re opening the big scab and it can’t heal.
He’s on antibiotics for another eight days, and we’ve put germaline on it to try to stop infection, but is there any advice for how to stop him re ripping the scab off again?
Thanks!
