So I will be using Revolution to treat my baby's lice (i checked out guinealynx for dosing & everything)...I will be doing that tonight. My questions are, what can I do to get rid of eggs (she has a lot on her nose) and when can I put her in with my other piggies (she's been quarantined for 3 weeks now)?

Revolution stays active for longer than the life cycle of the lice, so when the lice hatch, the Revolution will kill them. I believe the life cycle of lice is about three weeks, but I would probably quarantine your pig for about a month just to be safe.

When the eggs hatch, the Revolution will kill the lice. You don't have to do anything else.
