Skin Problems Fleas!

I just adopted a new pig and she has fleas. What can I do to get rid of them?

If you see fleas on your guinea pig your best bet is to take him to the vet to be treated. A lot of flea medicine out there is for cats or dogs and has things in it that could be harmful to your pig.

Cat Advantage works for fleas on pigs. It must be the original Advantage, however, not the new and improved stuff. Or, Revolution, but you need a vet for that.

Thank you both for responding. I have a friend who is a vet and she is going to see my pigs tomorrow. She said the same thing, Foggycreekcavy, the Advantage for kittens. She wants to check them out first to make sure everything else looks good. Thanks again for responding! I love this everything about this site!
