My guinea pig has a sore on his back. It looks like he may have scratched himself. I purchased some small pet healing stuff at the pet store and clipped his nails. Is there anything else I can do?

Is he scratching or itching at all?

Does he have any bald or thinning patches of hair?

What type of bedding is he on?
