Guinea pig cut her foot?

[ArklePig]

Hey just wondering if anyone has experienced this and how you treated it?

Noinin cut her toe yesterday, on the nail. It looked quite bad but I cleaned it up, put some antiseptic on and dipped it in flour and it was fine. It's started bleeding again tonight and I've noticed some of the hair on her toes has come off (presumably due to licking) and it's a bit swollen.

She is eating, pooing and weight bearing on it so doesn't seem to be in any pain.

I've called the out of hours vet (who I'm hoping says she doesn't need seen til morning as £££) and am waiting for a call back. Anyone any suggestions or ideas? For some reason it'll only let me post the pic of yesterday when it first started bleeding.

Thanks folks. Out of hours vet said she was fine to wait til morning so I called and they advised me to keep doing what I'm doing-cleaning and antiseptic cream. Swelling has disappeared and she's eating, weight bearing and generally behaving as her normal lardy self
