Foot & Mouth Ointment
SKU: 30
|
Overview
Ointment for guineas with skin problems on their feet and mouth (formerly Happy Soles). MOUTH SORES / SCABS can be caused by guineas eating acidic food (such as apples or tomatoes), or by bacterial or fungal infections.
This ointment can help whatever the source of the problem. BUMBLEFOOT (also know as Pododermatitis) is a swelling / ulceration of the foot pad that can be very painful for a guinea. The condition is often bacterial in origin but can also be fungal, and is difficult to treat. Vets often prescribe antibiotics such as Baytril, together with Rimadyl which helps with inflammation / pain relief. It can also be helpful to soak the affected foot in a dilute solution of Iodine each day. These work with varying degrees of success, it seems that there is no one easy answer to this problem and several options need to be tried.
CONTAINS NUT OIL - DO NOT USE IF YOU HAVE A NUT ALLERGY.
