fleas???

Re: fleas???

if iam correct their specie specific because fleas cant jump from a guinea pig to a dog or human so i dont think it would work the other way

Re : Fleas???

Mites and lice can be species specific, but I don't think fleas are. I believe fleas can be transmitted from a dog to a guinea pig. If this situation occurs, there are soaps that your veterinarian has (that are suitable for puppies and kittens) that helps to get rid of fleas and lice. I have also heard that small, proper dosages of Advantage can be used on guinea pigs to help prevent lice and fleas. Check out the guinealynx.info site for more information and discussions.

Re: fleas???

They are not species specific. Almost any species can get them.

All you need to do is put a drop of Ivermectin behind one ear- on each pig. This will take care of them.
