My oldie got mange, but we caught it early so she still has the majority of her hair! She had 3 injections at the vet (1 week intervals) and she's stopped loosing hair and is regrowing it. Before that, she was having meetings with another oldie and they really loved each other, but I didn't move them in together because of the mange (other piggie has showed no signs). Is it safe to move her in now? I'm just being a little paranoid that theres mange eggs hiding somewhere! its been a 2 weeks since treatment stopped, so will it be ok for her to have contact with others now?
 
I think that it should be OK.

If you wish, you can order topical ivermectin treatment like xeno 450 from the internet, just in case.
