Hi everybody! I need help ASAP. I just picked up a guinea pig from a girl who was keeping him in a rather neglectful situation, in a travel sized hamster cage!!!! It was horrendous and awful and I’m happy to have saved him. However, in his initial assessment I found what I’m pretty sure is lice. Little tan/white/yellow looking bugs right at the skin shaft crawling all over him. I haven’t brought him into my house yet. Obviously it’s sunday and my vet is not open, I’ll have to bring him first thing tomorrow morning so they can prescribe something. But what about my clean pig?? If I’m leaving the new guy in the living room but is it possible my older pig will still get them via indirect transmission on clothes or hands? Then I’ll have to do prophylactic treatment on my older guy?
Also, what is the best way to wash fleece bedding/towels/supplies to ensure they there’s no knits or eggs left on them. Can they stay in my carpet?
