Guinea pig first aid kit?

mummy2niamhy · Feb 3, 2009

Hi, I would like to know what basic essentials I should have in my guinea pig first aid kit.

So far I have.....
> Sudocreme - reccomended by our local small pets club, would you say this is suitable?
> The stuff to stop bleeding if you cut the claws too much by accident (it is for guinea pigs and small pets)
> Nail cutters (specifically for small pets).

Is there anything else I should always have in incase of an emergency?

Anything I need I will have to get online as ther isn't anywhere near me that has much small pet stuff in stock. So it would take a good week for anything to get to me which obviously isn't much use in an emergency!

You mean quik stop? You can also use corn starch in a pinch too.

Nail trimmers are more grooming supplies. If you mean medical/emergency kit, I'd definitely keep syringes, critical care, etc. on hand.

Here is another helpful thread https://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/about-guinea-pigs/18650-first-aid-kit.html?highlight=essential

And definitely you want a kitchen scale to weigh the pigs if you don't have one already.

I have scales to weigh them, and yeh I meant uik stop...was just being too lazy to go look at the label! lol

I keep their nail clippers with first aid stuff so they are out of my daughters reach!...Also that way I always know where they are.

I will look at those other pages thank you!
