Septrin (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) is a commonly prescribed antibiotic for humans and some animals, but it is NOT safe for guinea pigs.
It is crucial to only administer medications to your guinea pig that are specifically approved by a veterinarian for guinea pigs.
Here's why:
* Guinea pigs have unique metabolic processes that make them highly susceptible to certain medications.
* Septrin can cause serious health problems in guinea pigs, including kidney damage, anemia, and even death.
If your guinea pig is ill, please consult a veterinarian immediately. They can provide a proper diagnosis and prescribe safe and effective treatment options for your pet.
