I would change bedding as well. I have a herd of licey's at the mo and I'm waiting for me lice n easy from gorgeous guineas to arrive, it's brilliant stuff. Damn hay, it certainly is the season for lice right now! Hope they clear up soon!

Deffo the gorgeous guinea lice and easy, no need to use other shampoos etc with it although a lice comb is always handy. You can get trial sizes as well which is great if you have only one pig to treat although no harm in having a larger bottle of it in the press.

We've just got all of ours over a bout of lice aswell, just make sure you follow up treatment on day 7 or you're back to square 1

Sunshine is quite narked with his I've been brushing him until the Lice N Easy arrives which will be tomorrow as money has been taken on the 18th. My lot arn't heavily infested but you can see them. I have been brushing for what good it does although I haven't seen any on the girls since.

Horrid things but thankfully at least it isn't mites! Imagine 10 pigs with mites ...jeez thats costly!

Can't add much as GG products are great for lice but don't use that Johnson's shampoo again. The active ingredient is an irritant.
