Farriers Equine Care Lice & Mite Shampoo for Guinea Pigs & Small Mammals

Product Information

If your guinea pig has static mites – which makes it look like your pig has dust in their fur – you'll need a special spray or shampoo. It is essential to keep in mind that ivermectin doesn’t kill the eggs, so more than one treatment is necessary. Always make sure that the guineas you have bathed are warm and dry before putting them back into a clean cage.

Sometimes our pets can pic up unwanted little friends that can cause distress and discomfort not just for your pet, but also the owners. It’s a very unpleasant condition for your pet, so it needs to be dealt with quickly and prevented from spreading to your other guinea pigs. Also use 40ml of KG wash and go dog shampoo in a 60 degree wash to clear any fleas or mites from bedding, always dry in a tumble dryer on a very hot setting if possible. Although small, they cause a lot of irritating itching, and often live on guinea pigs in very large numbers. I had a problem with the payment via Paypal, and the problem was resolved almost instantly via live chat.Before considering any of these treatments, be sure to ask your veterinarian about using them safely.

You need to apply the spray first, make sure it's on their back legs and under them, as that's where static lice tend to spend their time. If your guinea pig has static mites, visit your veterinarian to receive a prescription spray or shampoo to treat them.However, the beaphar product you have used is nowhere near strong enough to deal with an active infestation and at four weekly intervals will not catch the mites properly.
