Steroids may also bring relief to a guinea pig in such pain it is seizuring but must be used with caution. Using a brush or your hands, gently massage KG pet shampoo as you would a shampoo over the entire body of your pet and leave on for approximately 5 minutes or more. Death can occur due to severe dehydration from the increasingly larger sores and from failure to eat, because of their extreme pain and discomfort. However, if the number of mites increases, this is when they can cause your guinea pig significant harm.

They can cause some minor itching and scurfy skin but they are pretty harmless, but to prevent them getting worst you should try to remove them. Discussions taking place within this forum are intended for the purpose of assisting you in discussing options with your vet. Guinea pig parasites are usually species-specific, so you don't generally need to worry about catching anything nasty from your guinea. The response in healthy animals is less severe, perhaps due to grooming or suppressed immune response (Harkness and Wagner). It has taken us a lot of digging around but the concentration is still the old low 'prevention' dose and frequency which will only lead to encouraging resistancy but will definitely not do anything to get on top of the lice - whatever it says on the label!

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. However the eggs, which are laid in burrows in the skin, may survive independently for long periods of time.

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.Both static mites and sarcoptic mites can be treated with Beaphar Anti-Parasite Spot On for Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Ferrets and Rats or Beaphar Anti-Mange Spray. You need to see a vet to get the correct prescription strength ivermectin treatment to be able to deal with this properly.
