I would use Blu-Kote or just do nothing at all.

I have guineas that have lost toes or claws over the years that healed just fine without any attention. I did find blood splattered all over the coop one day and never did find out what it was from. It is possible it came from a mouse but based on the pattern I suspect that it was a toe or foot injury that bled profusely for a short while and then healed on its own.

Oh and also if using salve of any kind.... Use a steril object to scoop a bit out and close the container before administering the salve... You dont want you contaminate your medicine with your fingers....

And Blue coat is a better Idea R2elk said. it is antiseptic but has the added value of removing that red color that attracts birds to peck.

Thank you guys so much! I’ll go pick some up now. I would so much rather try the blu Kote and put her back in rather than traumatizing another guinea while she healed and risk her/then being picked on even more.

thanks again for taking the time to help me out! I kept my first injured guinea away from the flock way too long not realizing he would be rejected
 
and I stumbled upon this guy not long ago! Seems with all hobby farm issues so far... when it rains it pours :oops:
