I think Garlic might be a bad idea for the Piggies.
We have to be careful. What is suitable for humans is not always for other species.
Garlic and all members of the onion family are pretty bad news for dogs. Cats (and maybe dogs -I'm not certain) are susceptible to Tea tree oil. Garlic is probably bad for cats too but in dogs all members of the onion family can cause "Heinz anaemia".
However Echinacea Angustifolia for wounds is usually okay. But each species has their own sensitivities, so I am not sure about all animals and what is best. Bathing the wound with warm salt water can be the safest thing to help an infection, but in the last resort an antiseptic from the vet!
