I've been planning a precautionary mite treatment for the girls but wasn't in a rush because they don't seem to have major symptoms. Amy's very touchy, though, so I'd rather be safe than sorry. I got Revolution for the new cat's ear mites today and got extra, bit how much should I use on the pigs? Our cat vet isn't cavy savvy so I trust info from here much more.

Thanks! That made me a little nervous, since I thought it was Ivermectin and Guinea Lynx says the safety isn't proven yet, but I recall reading success stories here so I'm going to give it a try.

I've used Revolution a couple times and it worked great for us. The first time I used it was shortly after getting Penny. I treated her as a precaution. Then I used it again after getting Sheldon. Poor guy had lice :( The Revolution worked very well, and the great thing was that I could give him a bath the next day to wash off of the dead lice.

Good luck to you and your girls!
