So, this is something I've always kept for my dogs, they're verrrrry efficient for wounds and cuts, abrasion etc.

It also says safe for small animals and even fishes! Anyone else is using it for your pigs?

I'm thinking if my new boys ever have any cuts I definitely would feel safe enough to spray them on them, because they are safe and non-toxic, and also safe for ingestion.

I have not seen it used on guinea pigs, but I will tag @Abi_nurse for you. She may know.
 
Silver formulations have been used in wound dressings and creams for centuries, however there is little to no evidence to prove they actually do anything, so it's generally defined as a homeopathic treatment and a recent study even showed it decreased wound healing. I have in the past used them on cats and dogs but never Guinea pigs. It's not used so much these days.

Personally I wouldn't use it at all, but i don't think it will do much harm if you wanted to. I would be washing any wounds in warm saltwater instead.
