Once my guinea pig, Fudge, accidentally bit me on my finger. I thought it was OK but then it started bleeding really badly. I cleaned it up and put some of that Dettol cream on it. Then I put a band-aid on it. the next day I took the band-aid off and it was REALLY swollen so I went to the doctor. I recommend you go to the doctor too because your guinea pig could have a disease or something and it might spread to you. I had to be on medication for two weeks and after that it really cleared up. Don't put a band-aid on it for too long otherwise the bite will not have air to heal it better.

Do guinea pig bites hurt?

Depends if your sensitive or not. To me, it feels like a little nibble. But if you threaten a Guinea pig, they can go full-force bite on you. Just yesterday, I was feeding my guinea pig some spinich and I got to close to the spinich so it bite me, but it didn't bring blood. If you have a baby guinea pig, then it can hurt because their teeth hasn't been used to chew yet, bigger guinea pigs wont hurt as bad.

What can you use on your guinea pigs bites?

most guinea pig bites dont need cleaning as they will lick them and are generally quite small however if your guinea pig does have a nasty wound that needs cleaning warm water will do the trick just give them a bath but dont have the water to deep until your guinea pig knows how to swim. (yes they can swim) if the wound doesnt seem any better or is particulary deep and open or becomes infected than take it to the vets.
