One of my guinea pigs, Kassie has had this cut on her neck for quite a few months now. It is right on her neck at the side and going round and under, just above her front right leg so it is right on the crease. She's been to the vets twice, the first time she got put on antibiotics which did nothing for her at all, then we took her to a different vet and he gave her a 5-day dose of these steroid type tablets to keep the infection out. Both vets never had a clue what to do as they said a bandage would just fall off and a cone would just slip right off too. Ive been putting savlon antiseptic cream stuff on it once a day but it still wont heal. Anybody got any ideas on what could work? This may sound stupid but I was thinking maybe putting some sort of sock on her feet so she cant scratch the scab off as i think thats what the problem is. Some days it looks horrendous if the scab has came off and the white fur around it is just red from the blood! It looks awful im really stuck on ideas tho :S
