Junior Guinea Pig
Hi everybody, sorry if this post is inappropriate because it’s about guinea pigs but also not EXCLUSIVELY about guinea pigs. Basically my cat Miss Keisha is having recurring issues with hair loss that one of my vets now thinks could actually be caused by irritation from a flea allergy. She’s a fully indoor cat so the only real options are the dogs might be bringing fleas in, apparently it only takes a single bit of flea saliva lol.
So my question is; can guinea pigs really harbour fleas? First step is defleaing my cat and the dogs but it got me wondering could my boys Ollie and Eggs possibly be transmission vectors too? I googled and looked through posts on here and lots of sources say yes piggies can have fleas and lots of sources say no piggies aren’t gonna have fleas. My cat lives in my room with me and the boys, she even sits in the cage to chat with the boys (they like her
) a lot I’m just puzzled on whether to (somehow) include them in the Great Deflea-ing since every answer seemed to be different on likelihood
