Biting tore up ear

[cranberrybaby]

My guinea pig, Tatertot has an ear injury and i am not quite sure what to do. Should I take him to the vet or do you think i am able to take care of it at home? My piggie fergie likes to fight with my others so i have separated him.

How long ago did it happen? If it's been more than a few hours, they can't suture it. But it definitely needs to be cleaned.

If you've got one that fights, you need to either redo their living situation, or that pig needs to be separated.

How many pigs do you have in the cage? And how large is the cage?

it has been more than a few hours, so i will clean it, what do i clean it with?

Also, the cage is pretty small and there is 4 in there but i am getting rid of 8 of my piggies tomorrow and they will have a bigger cage.

I don't think you can bandage that area.

okay, thank you. We washed it with some warm water and a little peroxide.
