I think I read somewhere that most GP have dormant mites, then living condition will determine if they come out to infect the skin badly or not. Those GP in some pet shop have more than mites though, they have BIG BIG kutus on them!

abby @ pet safari sunway piramid is rm68...currently they hav nice colour...and looks healthy

GP with white/black fur is easy to see the parasites. On black fur, the eggs of the parasites can be seen clearly. On white fur, you can see the parasites themselves moving (geli! ) For the skin disease thing , look at their ears and eyes area if got like dandruff or flaky skin. Then for the body, see if got any areas thats balding until can see the skin. (Note that most GPs are bald in a small area directly behind the ear. That one is normal)

Eh.. i'm confused...
is Advantage Cat used to treat Mites or Lice?

If not mistaken I think its mainly for lice. Mites I think they use Ivermectin jab to cure it, coz mites can live under the skin, but lice is on top.

Ooh..
Dr. J mentioned something about "mites" but on the suRface of the skin..
those those that need injection..
And she recommended Advantage Cat...

Yup,u are right. Dr. J told me that aslo.it tooks three jab to cure the mites in three weeks. and there is the possibilty the mites will be coming back again after recovered.each jab cost RM15.right?

Pet Lover at Sunway Piramid also got GP.. RM30 each..
Look healthy.. but 1 or 2 got eye injury...
So better look carefully before you bought it..

at penang a i strongly recommend that any1 if wan buy pet go buy at cty (chew tian yang).
last week i get my 2 hammie thr and the second 1 i choose gt eye problem bt i dnt mention it bt the worker catch it and tell me the problem....

I dint say all is bad.. Probably i survey more pet shops than you do.. Read properly what i quoted before.. i stated the livestocks sometimes are ok and sometimes are not.. so the best thing is to FIND OUT YOURSELF BY VISITING THE PETSTORE.

As for Hagen Pellets i was on it too until i find out MANY MANY MANY BAD FEEDBACK ON IT. They have stuff like corn glutten and corn corbs in the mixture and there was once a case where a GP DID DIE of eating excessive pellets from this brand. Delikate is even worst because of the seeds and hard corn inside which can practically choke a GP!

It's hard to see peruvian here in selangor even.. if there was peruvians, probably only 1 or 2.

Once there is an eye injury somewhere in the stock or a very sick GP, i rather not take the rest even though the rest look healthy.

yesterday saw new batch of gp's at pet world mid valley
normal rm 36
abby rm 59
sheltie rm 179
peruvian rm 190

can you teach me how to go to cty? i am new to penang roads.

Wow, nice price!!
For normal breed only...

chubby? is that me or who? lol if it's me it's chabby...and i'm a girl lol

Ivermectin also can be taken orally oso.. my GPs once got mite prb and taken Iver orally to cure it.. i juz dunwan my gps to have a jab as my 1st gp died becoz of it..

for skin those flakes prb.. my gps are cured by using anti-fungus shampoo.. actually for dog.. but the vet recommend me to use as she use on her rabbit and still ok.. juz nid to dilute the shampoo.. so tat not so concentrated as GPs skin are not as thick as doggies..
