Severe Mange with Seizures! Baby Guinea Pig Rescue Mission
Like 4 Dislike 0 Published on 23 Dec 2018
The Los Angeles Guinea Pig Rescue got a message from an employee of a Pet and Feed store in Bakersfield. A customer had dropped off a very sick guinea pig to them and they attempted to nurse it back to health. However, after two months with little improvement, they reached out to our rescue. The guinea pig was much sicker than they realized and it was a miracle he had even survived. Volunteer Scotty swiftly drove to Bakersfield and brought the little guy back to Los Angeles. Los Angeles Guinea Pig director, Saskia, examined him and gave him treatment. He is now on the way to a full recovery
PREVENTATIVE You want to repeat Ivermectin treatments every 3 months or so. It prevents lice, mites and internal parasites. Even if you guinea pigs are not in touch with others they can still get these parasites. They lie dormant and will activate when the animal is under the weather, aging or under stress.
You can either put a drop on the ear of the injectable Ivermectin (though you don’t inject it just a pea sized drop on the outer skin of the ear) This is a great method if you have a lot of animals
You can use a horse wormer paste that contains Ivermectin and put a pea sized amount in their mouth. This is more economical if you have a small herd.
