When your guinea pig gets a fungal infection, there’s no need to panic. Follow these safe and effective steps to ensure your pet’s recovery:
Use Pet-Safe Antimicrobial Spray
Antibacterial sprays for pets,are an excellent choice for disinfecting wounds. This gentle, non-irritating spray is safe for small animals. Apply the spray to your guinea pig's affected area daily to help control infection and promote healing. Avoid using alcohol-based disinfectants, as they can cause pain and irritation to your guinea pig's wound.
Maintain a Clean Living Environment
A clean and dry habitat is essential for guinea pigs with fungal infections. Regularly clean the cage, remove wet bedding and waste, and replace with fresh, dry materials to reduce bacterial and fungal growth.
Isolate the Affected Guinea Pig
To prevent the spread of fungal infections, keep the infected guinea pig in isolation. Monitor the health of other guinea pigs and take preventive measures as needed.
Monitor and Provide Ongoing Care
Keep an eye on the infected guinea pig's condition. If symptoms do not improve or worsen, consult a veterinarian promptly for further treatment options.
