I heard good things about the guinea pig lice n easy shampoo but after researching it, it is fully out of stock front heir website, is there anywhere else this is available? Or any other shampoo that is similar to this?

Please do not treat on spec and see a vet! They will prescribe good quality ivermectin, which is the more important angle. You can ask them for a suitable medicated shampoo, too.

I would like to point out that lice'n'easy shampoo will not necessarily cure lice anyway; we have seen a few cases on here over the years where it has totally failed. This is where home care on spec and on the cheap can fall terribly short.

Basically, long story short, I noticed lice, took both guineas to the vet, they confirmed it was lice and they needed invectimin treatment, they then went to quote the total cost and was looking at around £90 for their medication (for 3 doses over a course of 4 weeks for the two piggies), so they suggested to me to buy it from the shop, as long as it had invectimin in it. I have done this, treated them both with the first treatament two days ago. Today they were both taken to the vet again as Willow had a crusty nose and they just wanted to check honey was not affected by anything Willow may have. And obviously it was on their record about the lice, the vet then suggested to keep on top of the treatment with a shampoo, I didn't just want to buy any random shampoo and it not be worth it so wondered what others would recommend, and had seen a lot about the lice n easy one.

They also said there was not a shampoo that was available through them. (I use Companion Care Vets)
