Help please! Is this skin treatment safe for my guinea pig? Oct 30th 2011, 03:30 Question by nikkixelizabeth: Help please! Is this skin treatment safe for my guinea pig? Hi there I got 2 beautiful guinea pigs yesterday, & my albino piggie Sugar has been chewing on her back alot, so I checked & she has a big red sore in that same spot I’m not sure if this was an injury she gave to herself because of fleas, & if that’s the case i’ll treat her for fleas immediately!, or if it’s an injury she could have gotten at the pet store, because the others rejected her due to her being an albino & her being obviously different. Is Sulfodene safe to treat this issue?! We use it for my doggies skin problems..so I figured it could possibly be used for her too? If not, PLEASE tell me! I won’t use it unless I know for a fact it’s safe, and if it isn’t safe do you know what I can use to treat my little girls skin issue? Thank you so much, you’re helping me out a ton! <3 - Nikki ! oops, i forgot to add this: Sulfodene isn't anything you inject, and it's not tablets or anything; it's kind of like a spot treatment, you put it on a cottonball & rub the upset area. i'm kinda shifty about it, because it doesn't really sound too safe.. i figure if i'm doubting it, i should forget about it. i just want as many opinions as possible. Best answer: Answer by my own pavement lol If it is an injury inflicted by other pigs, it would have nothing to do with the fact that she is albino. Animals are not so focused on aesthetics like we are. They do not see the difference in the least. If one attacked her it would have been over a dominance issue. Do not treat her before you know what she has! Take her to a vet first, evaluate what caused the wound, and then go from there. It doesn’t sound like fleas or parasites anyway. They would both be itchy and create these scabs all over their bodies, not just one particular spot. That is more likely an injury or even an allergic reaction to something. She needs a vet for certain. And I am not sure what Sulfodene is, but a lot of medical products made for larger animals like dogs are in no way safe for anything smaller. You need to find something for small animals in particular, which you will easily get from your vet. Good luck! What do you think? Answer below!
