ACCEPTED Check Mark

Your guinea pig has an infection, either on the paw or in the eye. You can put some triple antibiotic on the paw between the fingers and a little below the eyelid that is infected.
You shuld also be ready to take it ot the vet if this doesn't help in a day or two. I expect an infection to take longer than a day or two to heal, but I want you to be prepaRED to go to the vet if my info doesn't help.
If my answer does help you and your pet...'please press the 'accept' button.' Let me know how it's going. Triple 'A' should help.
