Hello :) My piggies have lice. I have visually confirmed this several times. I ordered Revolution online and it arrived yesterday. The kitten size was unavailable, so I got the cat one.

Cookie weighs 962 grams
Biscuit weighs 1112 grams

I am not sure how much exactly to give them. I took pictures of the strength listed on the package, I hope the pictures show up...I haven't posted in a long time. (Edited to say, sorry the pics are upside down!)

How many doses do I give them and how far apart? The package insert didn't give much information.

Thank you in advance for helping me and my pigs!

OMGosh! I am such a dope - I somehow had previously missed the dosing calculator on GuineaLynx...
https://www.guinealynx.info/dose_calculator.html
According to that link and my GP weights:
Cookie gets 0.16cc
10 mg/kg
Biscuit gets 0.19cc
10 mg/kg
(I rounded the decimals here)


Am I right?

That sounds about right to me.

The cat Revolution and the kitten & puppy Revolution are identical (60mg/cc), just for anyone else reading. You just get more in the little tubes in the cat one, and it's much better value for money if you have lots of pigs.
