Is extra virgin olive oil ok to put on guinea pigs dry skin (ears and feet) in small amounts ?
 
If you Think they have dry skin then you should take to the vet for a check rather than home treating.

I've got a vet appointment for her on the 7th but i mean in the meantime
 
It’s beat you don’t. It may not just be dry skin. And even if it is olive oil isn’t suitable to treat it.
 
the problem with doing any kind of home treatment is that you mask the symptoms and make it much harder for a vet to identify any issue. We don’t recommend any home treatments in any event

You say dry feet, what is your piggy bedded on?
