We brought one of our girls, Rosa, into our vet today for thinning fur, and it turns out that our pigs have lice. Our vet prescribed (and treated her) with Carbaryl powder. After looking this up on Guinea Lynx once I got home, it looks like Carbaryl is bad and may actually be harmful to our pigs. Is that the case? Should I actually go and wash the stuff off of Rosa? Also, since it sounds like Advantage is the stuff I actually need, where do I get that?
*sigh* We really like our vet, and have been with her for a long time. She's an exotics vet, so she sees many types of animals, but she's been great with our pigs through a whole host of issues. Also, I don't know of any other "qualified" cavy vets in our area. Maybe someone can suggest some? We live in Bellevue, WA, which is near Seattle.
Thanks!
