Farriers Equine Care Lice & Mite Shampoo for Guinea Pigs & Small Mammals

Product Information

You’ll also need to thoroughly clean and disinfect their hutch, run, food and water bowls, and toys, and replace all the bedding material. Mites will seldom leave the host unless brushed onto the bedding or as a result of overpopulation or the death of the host. If you find a guinea with external parasites and it lives in the same cage as others, they will all need bathing at the same time. On rare occasions they may cause some temporary itchiness for sensitive people but cannot reproduce or live on humans.

This guide link here has more practical tips on how to deal with static lice in terms of hygiene and egg removal to help limit the outbreak (you will still need to use vet strength ivermectin to get on top of the mites themselves). Whichever of these your guinea pig has, it’s important that you don’t try to treat it using anti-flea medication, as lots of flea treatments contain ingredients that are poisonous to guinea pigs. However the eggs, which are laid in burrows in the skin, may survive independently for long periods of time. Your veterinarian may also recommend topical flea powders, premise sprays, or even professional pest exterminators.Damaged and defective items – If your item arrives damaged or defective we require photos to assess the problem. jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"
