Hi. My name is Christina and I have a big problem. One of my piggies had
these little mite-like critters on her. I took her to the vet and he said she
had a type of lice that only live on guinea pigs! Okay...so what do I do? He
said I needed to bring my piggies in and he would give them each an oral
treatment to cure and prevent any further problems. The treatments are 3 weekends
in a row. Problem is, I have 15 piggies! He told me he would only charge me
for meds, but that still comes out to $150 a visit. So the entire treatment is
going to cost me $450! AAACK!
Does anyone know of another route I could take in curing my babies that is
just as effective, but not quite as expensive? My hubbie and I will take them
to the vet if that's the only option... but I thought I'd ask you guys first.
Thanks for helping!
