Hi all,
Ive had my pigs for about a year, and just recently, one of them starting scratching quite severely. He has hair loss, dandruff-like deposits through his hair and red skin. After researching, it seems that he has sarcoptic mange. I treated the pigs with revolution, with the correct dosage as calculated on guineapiglynx. The first treatment was given 20 days ago, and I gave a second treatment 10 days ago, but there has still been no improvement. My affected guinea pig is now seizuring with the itching and i feel absolutely awful. Is there still hope of the revolution working? Should I give a 3rd dosage? I?m in a fairly rural part of Australia and I haven?t had much luck with the vet down here. He advised me to get this spray, https://www.nettopet.com.au/aristop...c71mjAJrKchkDeQ8OLWTzileZYyUbpPBoCcOQQAvD_BwE which I?ve read can be dangerous for piggies. Any advice or recommendations are most welcome, I can?t stand seeing my boy like this!
