Hello,
A few weeks ago I posted that my guinea pig (Tippy Toe) bit into a tumor / cyst and was bleeding. No vet would see him immediately so I came to this site for advice. Thankfully, several people were able to assist with home remedies and Tippy Toes wound began healing. However, today-2 weeks later, he bit into it again and I couldn't contain the blood. This time, I located a vet (quite a distance away) but they were able to see him and offer some assistance.
They offered Metcam (.35ml) for the pain and SMZ-TMP (.5ml) as an antibiotic. He took both ok and went about his happy way. (**side note** even with all the bleeding, there was never a change in his eating, pooping running, etc). However, now 7 hours after the meds, he seems to be very mellow. Is this result of the meds? Should I be concerned? Its only day 1 and I'm supposed to give Metcam for the next 4 days and SMZ-TMP for 14.
Thank you in advance for any thoughts / advice you all may have!

Don't take any action without first discussing it with your vet.
