I was recommended that aswell by the CCT when piggies have problems breathing - but I am not too sure about it... :-\
I remember that my boyfriend had tears in his eyes because of it, the smell was so strong. Now I am just imagining how it must be for a guinea pig, with their noses being alot more sensitive..
also, what if a piggy tries to clean it off its nose, and gets some in its mouth? Is it really safe for them to accidentally swallow?
I am just a bit worried about this being so often recommended, I cant imagine it being a good thing to do.. maybe when drastic measures are needed, but to have it in ones first aid kit as a standard thing?
Has anyone got any experiences with that?
