Guinea Pig Bite First Aid: When to Worry & How to Treat
Most guinea pig bites are superficial. Immediate care:
- Wash thoroughly with soap and water.
- Apply pressure to stop bleeding; bandage.
See a doctor if: deep puncture, uncontrolled bleeding, signs of infection (redness, warmth, pus), or if the animal’s vaccination status is unknown. Guinea pigs rarely transmit rabies but can carry Streptobacillus (rat-bite fever) or Pasteurella.
