Parasites My guineas have lice

That sounds like fairly reasonable doses. But how much do your pigs weigh? Generally, very young pigs aren't given ivermectin.

How did you know they had lice? Could you see them crawling on the pigs?

I said in my last post they both weigh .6 pounds. They are 8 weeks old. I'm sure he knows what he doing but I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do to relieve some of the itching while I'm waiting for the meds to work. Is there? I'm gonna call the vet and ask Monday to make sure. And yes I seen the lice on them and brought them to the vet the next day. I'm not pleased with the pet shop at all.

Sorry, I missed the weights in your earlier post. I'd be concerned about giving ivermectin to pigs that small.

I don't know of anything you can do to relieve the itching.

You've unfortunately run into one of the big problems with buying pigs from pet shops. They're often ill, mis-sexed, and/or have parasites. Next time, please consider adopting from a rescue or shelter. Not only will you give a homeless pig a home, but you won't be supporting the breeding mills that treat their pigs so horribly.

Speaking of mis-sexed, are you sure yours are both the same? At the very least, turn them over and compare them. See www.cavyspirit.com/sexing.htm for pictures to help. Aside from all the genetic problems with guinea pig pups and the high death rate for sows, these are just babies, and are way too young to be having babies themselves. Males can impregnate females at four weeks of age, and females can get pregnant between four and five weeks. So your pigs are plenty old enough to reproduce, but too young to put that kind of stress on their bodies.

I called the shelters but I live in a very small place and guinea pigs are hard to come by in pet shops. Even harder in shelters or I definitely would have got them there! They are definitely both females ( thank god haha) the pet store sexed them then I did and so did the vet. It's a very minuscule amount so I hope nothing happens. Would there be any other treatments for live on pigs that small? They've been peeing or pooping out a milky mixture along with their normal droppings. I'm concerned about that so I'm calling the vet Monday morning because they are closed over the weekend. Their behaviour is as normal as ever though but they are shedding a bit from scratching I suppose. I didn't mean to sound rude in my last post about the weight! I was half asleep and re read it this morning and realized it sounded rude! Sorry!

Also I did mix the meds with pineapple juice so maybe that's the reason for the white excretions ? First time owner if you didn't notice haha

The white urine may be from the pineapple juice, or from your regular diet. They're young, so you don't need to limit calcium now, but it will be something to watch in the future.

I wouldn't shampoo or use any cream. The ivermectin should take care of it. How are you administering it?

We're giving it to them by mouth .
