beaphar spot on

[lauralucy]

Hello

could anyone tell me how often i should be using this on guinea pigs with mites? the box says effective for 4 weeks but I'm thinking thats only as a prevention.

Thanks

You have two choices Laura -

1. One dose every three months as a "preventative" (or, in actual fact, a routine treatment for mites - http://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=47407).

2. Two to three doses, each one 7-10 days apart, to treat an active case of mites.

As you mention a guinea pig with mites, I would advise the latter.

If your guineas have mites get them treated at the vets. Then use the Bephar spot on as prevention.

I had a similar situation and now prevent. I haven't had any trouble since ( touch wood).rolleyes
