How to bandage a wiggly piggy?
I'm so happy and amazed how well hes healing. There is NO scab, red dot, or wound ... Swellong is almost gone.... It looks healed over and just needs to finish healing internally.
Think its 9k to go with out a bandage now?
Should I keep soaking it with 40:1 povidon iodine : water solutuon?
If yes to either...when do I know to stop?
Thanks!

That's good news. I know from personal experience how much of a relief it is when our guinea pigs get well. It feels like a giant weight is lifted. If it's not 100% healed inside and out, I'd keep soaking and keep it bandaged. That's just me. One of the more experienced members might know better or you could ask the vet.
Some notes on the sling
Be sure to cut the leg holes larger than you think. Their feet are huge relative to their legs. Also you want them to be able to walk out of it whem you sit them down. You don't want the bandaged foot to get stuck or they pull it off or get tangled up and panic.
To get them out just set them down gently in their cage and let them simply walk out!
You'll want plenty of space between the front leg holes and the edge of the sling. You don't want their head hanging out. The edge of the towel could choke them.
I put them in head first from the back of the sling and set them in it. Usually I can get one back leg in while putting them in. Them I lift the other back leg and put it in the hole. The front paws are more tricky... They can pull them out pretty easily until its ALL the way in.
Give plenty of head rubs, gentle words and try not to rock them around too much. It's easy to be doing something, let go of them as you turn away and they sway around.
