Just an fyi - there is dye free childrens benadryl available too. Had to use it when my human kids got chicken pox, because they both reacted to the red dye in the Benadryl & ended up in the er! So, knowing my gp’s eat only organic & haven’t been exposed to dyes in their food……..I’m not taking any chances!!
I’ve always wondered how much Benadryl to give. Glad I saw this as I think I probably would have given too much. Always great videos, Scott. Thank you. 😀🐾
Thank you for sharing these tips and advice about guinea pig health. Good information is not easy to come by and it makes me feel more confident in caring for my guinea pigs.
So glad for this information! One of my boys recently got mites and I am waiting on medicine to come in. In the mean time I am monitoring him and keeping him comfortable. ♥️ You ALWAYS post this stuff right when I need it. Bless you, Scotty!
My guinea pig is a little over 4 months old and he was just neutered on Thursday. He seems to be having some complications. He is on a probiotic, emer aid as a food supplement since he isn't eating, meloxicam and an antibiotic. He was given fluids yesterday and he is alert but not eating. He was 1 degree above normal temp and his right side was a little red and warm (seemed to show inflammation the Dr. said). I appreciate any suggestions. I was told to give him Benadryl (.6) and I did last night but haven't again since I am not sure if this is helping at all.
My Guinea pig is about 8 months old he hates being picked up and I can’t cut his nails can I use children’s benadryl to calm him down so I can pick him up and cut his nails
Not totally however it may make them drowsy but this should really only be used to prevent seizures in an emergency. If you follow this channel you can always give Ivermectin as a preventative and you would never have to use it
Guinea pigs should not be eating very much fruit and they definitely don't need juice veggies are more important please read my diet section of my guinea pig care guide. Www.scottysanimals.com Adding orange juice or another juice to emergency food might help with appetite
Could I use this for my guinea pig she's very fast and doesn't like to be held but I need to trim her nails I read that this might help online but I want to be totally sure
Did you end up trying this? One of my piggies is a rescue and I normally have to take him to the vet to get them trimmed because he hates having it done.

Scotty unconsciously scratching his forearm at the exact same moment he is saying, "...extreme itching." 😂

Can I ask what the strength of the benadryl is where you are? The stuff available to me is 6.25 mg/5ml
I have an asthmatic piggy that I have to give Benadryl to every 12 hours. Vet said it helps with drainage and mucus build up. It’s worked well so far.
Sure its not heart disease and fluid buildup? Is your vet on my list? Www.scottysanimals.com
I have gunia pig that is sick
Very well said. so educational and informative. Great video.
