ive just been looking through my guinea pigs coats and found some tiny white things crawling about, is it lice and what do i use to get rid of them?
 
A trip to the vets maybe a good idea then they can give them a really good check over and give you something for lice, when I rescued ringo and star they had lice I treated them but took them to the vets for a thoura check over and found stars back teeth were bad so it might be a good idea for you to go ;)
 
I agree with Dazie, I think it would be a good idea to take them along to the vet so they can get a proper check & weigh & they can advise on if they are a healthy weight for their size. :)
 
thanks,, i will make an appointment

ive just bought beaphar anti- parasite spot on for guinea pigs.
 
well i didnt see any at P@H, with the spot on i used this morning,, how long will it take for the stuff to work. is it more for preventing lice than actually getting rid of them?
 
I am not sure you are even supposed to use that :-\

Lice n easy is sold on the gorgeous guineas website :)
 
the lice n easy is for guinea pigs 12 weeks and over.. on the beaphar anti- parasite spot on for guinea pigs it doesnt say an age limit...
 
A couple of applications of Lice N' Easy will see them off but make sure you do them twice or you may as well not do them at all :)
