The revolution you mentioned, is it the one for dog? Is it safe on guinea pig?

My guinea pig sometimes have few of these black dots.

OMG, my Piggies got the hair mites too. When I Close see it the mites were moving up and down. Yucks.. I used the guinea pig shampoo to shower them with warmth water... then rub their fur. After finishing showered, I then let them ran around. Finally I put some baby powder for them and guess what ? they look happy. I did use vinegar with towel to clean around the cage, changed new bedding. Hope this fine after what I've done so far to get rid of the mites.

Does the baby powder help? And can I know what brand are of baby powder you use? I want to try it on my pig smile.gif
My pig's fur seems to be shedding more than usual but I can't spot any problem on her skin.

ur pigs weight in kg / 10 = dosage in ml
example xxx piggy is 300g
0.3 /10 = 0.03ml of revolution on the the skin on the shoulder bone..done.. normally 2 to 3 application should do the job.. wait 2-3 week b4 each re-application
soli for my previous post: is advocate not advantage for cats... get the one for less than 4kg one...
user posted image packaging about similar to this..
dosage is 1 drops each application.

Oh ya. Where do you buy revolution from? Does PetsLovingCentre have it?

Can I know if anybody can recommend me a guinea pig breeder who have Peruvians or Coronet? I am looking up down left right and almost everywhere for a female but fail to find one that I like.

I want another piggy for my current one.

Lolsz Chubbyagel...ur guinea pig is what type? If based on ur profile pic, it shud be American short hair? Or in our case...Malaysian short hair =.=" Malaysian breeds are like this de..the gp body size small small..especially short hairs...cause they mix + inbreeding + macam macam factor sampai gao gao...huhu.... And no, vit c doesnt affect the weight i think...its for their health only =) If appetite still okay, den shud be no problem. Hmm...apartment ah? Where got space put only lor...haha XD if got empty room puyt there better! Like kaoru i think, she put in empty room, den can let GP roam free in the room...so nice hehe XD
