New Born Pup
idk where else to post this. so i was attempting to bond two guinea pigs, they had been bar-mates for a few weeks, and i tried to introduce them inside a spacious guinea pig pen. they ended up fighting a bit and without thinking i put myself in the middle of it, as i didnt want any piggies to get hurt (i did have the towel and everything prepared but in the moment i just panicked). anyways, butterscotch ended up biting me and latching on for a good 30 seconds before i could get him off (i was trying to be gentle so it took a bit). the bite bled pretty bad for a few minutes and after about 25 minutes the area is really swollen and kind of numb. realistically, is this something i should be concerned about or will it go away? (i washed with soap and water) p.s. he didnt mean to bite, i think he was just very overwhelmed. ive been sitting here petting him and he’s not acting violent towards me whatsoever.
