My poor Smore

My poor guinea pig, Smore got an infection yesterday. Well, he went to the vet first thing this morning and later discovered it was an absess infection. So, they drained him and he's on antiboitics and is in the medical cage for the next few days until the drain is removed. However, he's doing well. He's eating and drinking, so see how the care goes the next couple of days.

Re: My poor Smore

My Jack had an abscess from a bite from a fight. He was knocked out to clean it at the vets, then on Baytril. I also flushed it out with saline solution and soaked it with hot, wet washcloths twice a day. Thankfully, Jack healed 100%.
Hopefully your pig will too.

Re: My poor Smore

I'm sorry to say, but Smore passed away early this evening.
