My guinea pig had a hole under his chin. It keeps leaking pus with a bad odor and scabbing. I cant afford a vet visit right now and i’m not sure what to do. it won’t go away and i’m not sure how to clean it or make it heal. Please help! Any answers are appreciated.

Forum is usually dead at this hour as most of us are from the uk but your piggie definitely needs to see a vet as soon as you can
 
That probably won’t heal without some strong antibiotics. The vet may want to do surgery to remove it or lance it open to let it drain and you’ll have to flush it a few times a day. Unfortunately there are no home remedies that will help.
 
:agr: Your piggy definitely needs to see a vet for medication and proper treatment of the abscess. There is nothing you can do yourself

This is an abscess, there is nothing you can give without a prescription to deal with this effectively. A vet is an absolute must for something like this as antibiotics will be needed and it needs to be kept open to heal from the inside
