Junior Guinea Pig
Hello everyone,
I suspect my trio of boars have mites. I can't see anything and their fur is all intact, but they itch a lot. They've been through ivermectin but it's not been any good this time, and so we are going back to the vets in two weeks time. That's the closest appointment I could get.
In the meantime, I have heard neem can be very soothing for their skin. I haven't been able to get neem oil, but was able to pick some neem soap, so my plan is to gently massage their fur with this in their bath and lather them up, but is it safe? The soap is ayuurvedic and the ingredients are;
Sodium Palmate, Aqua (Water), Sodium Palm Kernelate, Glycerine, Sorbitol, Melia Azadirachta Seed Oil, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Palm Kernel Acid, Cymbopogon Schoenathus Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Chloride, Tetrasodium EDTA, Tetrasodium Etidronate.
Thanks.
