    Warm-blooded animals can be infected with rabies, including humans, which means that if you are bitten, you also have a chance of being infected with rabies, and the chance is higher than being bitten by a guinea pig. There is currently a record of rabies transmission by humans, but there is no record of rabies transmission from guinea pigs.

    According to statistics, the animals that cause rabies virus are still mainly dogs (, followed by cats (then the remaining animals include 9021 species of birds and 5676 species of mammals, to average the remaining one percent, this data should also remove the rabies caused by recorded humans and bats, then the probability of rabies caused by guinea pig bite is less than 7 per million.

    If the bite bleeds and the bite area is swollen, you will need to go to the hospital for tetanus shots. If the Dutch pig is just gnawing and doesn't really bite the skin, then there is no need for any treatment.

    First, you can choose to use some disinfectant to apply, ** just be lightly scratched by the guinea pig, then the keeper should not worry too much. If the wound is small, Dutch pigs are 1 in 10,000 as likely to transmit rabies as cats and dogs, due to the way they are caged.

    Second, it will not be poisoned after being bitten by a Dutch pig. Generally speaking, guinea pigs have relatively small teeth, so the bite wound will not be very deep, and after cleaning, the first thing is to observe the wound carefully. If there is no bleeding, after being bitten by a Dutch pig, it should be put in a rat cage in time.

    Then rinse the wound with running water, which can be cleaned with soapy water, however, it is still recommended that the bitten person deal with it carefully, if there is time and conditions, you can go to the hospital for examination, the wound is larger, or go to the hospital for examination, it is still very safe, inject rabies vaccine, just in case.

    Third, if it is really bitten and bleeding, it is necessary to stop the bleeding and disinfect according to the condition of the wound, but there is also a slight bleeding and the amount of bleeding is also large, so parents need to carefully clean, disinfect and then bandage.

    ……This case is quite special. Dutch pigs generally do not carry germs, and your wound shell is not necessarily a pig bite, but the cleaning time is indeed a little late, generally cleaned immediately after being bitten, but the possibility of Dutch pigs with rabies and other epidemic germs is very low, and your pet pig is a domestic pet pig, so don't worry.

    But as I said downstairs, if I'm really worried, go get a tetanus or rabies vaccine, and go to the hospital and ask the doctor which one to get it.
