Hi. About half an hour ago my guinea pig bit my wrist. It has swollen to about the size of a small potato. Upon looking at my other wrist Ive noticed quite a thick vein and was wondering if this is serious or if I just wait it will get better? When I was initially bitten it bled quite a lot so I ran it under a cold water tap until it stopped. There isnt any discolouring as yet but it is fairly painful. Thank you.
