How to Treat Guinea Pig Colds, Bronchitis, and Pneumonia
Guinea pig colds, bronchitis, and pneumonia need different care. Colds take enrofloxacin or sulfadimidine; bronchitis needs higher-dose antibiotics plus an expectorant (carbetapentane or ammonium chloride); pneumonia is urgent — enrofloxacin plus Shuanghuanglian IV, aminophylline for breathing trouble, all at a vet. Isolate sick pigs and treat fast, as pneumonia can kill in 2–3 days.
Symptoms and Treatment of Pneumonia in Guinea Pigs
Guinea pig pneumonia is fast and often fatal within 3–4 days. Signs progress from cough and sneezing to appetite loss and labored breathing; X-ray confirms it. Treat immediately with enrofloxacin (about 1 ml/kg twice daily), isolate the pig, and keep it warm and dry.

A patch of my dog’s skin is oozing pus – what’s going on, and what ointment should I apply?
A moist, pus-filled wound on a dog's skin is generally an inflammatory manifestation caused by a skin infection or a secondary bacterial infection. It is recommended to first clip the fur around the affected area, both to make medication easier and to avoid fur contaminating the wound and causing a secondary infection. Then disinfect the wound with hydrogen peroxide or povidone-iodine to reduce surface inflammatory discharge and other contaminants, and afterward treat it with an antibacterial skin spray and anti-inflammatory ointment - such as Bailing Jinfang ointment, Puante Chuanglide spray, or enrofloxacin spray. If the infected area is relatively large, it is best to have it examined carefully at a hospital before treatment, and then do an external deworming. During treatment, fit the dog with an Elizabethan collar promptly to prevent it from biting or scratching the area and worsening the infection. Observe for 3-5 days; if symptoms do not improve, go to the hospital for a skin scraping to determine the type and severity of the infection, then adjust the treatment plan.

How to Tell If a Guinea Pig Has a Urinary Tract Infection
