my guinea pig has a bloody nose and it won't stop bleeding wat should i do?


Answers:
Its not too common in guinea pigs so there could be a serious problem, like a blood vessel burst in its nose. If it still hasn't stopped bleeding I would take it to a vet, i know it sunday, but if it loses much blood it can begin having even worse problems.
Very calmly and quickly take it to the nearest small animal veterinarian. They should be able to help.
bring it too the animal doctor so they can treat it maybe it has a nose infection
First of all you may want to hold him and put pressure on the wound. Secondly, call your emergency vet. Today is Sunday but I'm certain that there is an ER for pets in your area. You may want to take him there, but call first. I don't know anything about guinea pigs, except for the fact that they're sweet.
What happened to the piggie to make it's nose bleed?? They just don't do that without an injury of some kind. Was it in a fight, dropped, hit?? I can't tell you what to do without knowing what happened, so I suggest getting it to a vet QUICKLY.
Please take it to the vet asap. Hope the guinea pig gets better.
Cayenne Red Pepper. My Mom taught me to use it on our animals when they are bleeding. Cayenne Red Pepper is so hot that is can cauterize on contact with a wound. So take a pinch of Cayenne pepper in the powder form and put it on the nose. That should stop the bledding until you get to a vet. It might hurt your Guinea Pig because it is pepper, but which is better: Your Guinea pig dying because it bled to death (if it is a seriously bad wound) or it stops bleeding and is taken to a vet in time.
Goodluck
