Lice!

One of my boys has lice. I've got a vet appointment for him on Monday.

Will washing my clothes clean them off? Can the lice be transferred to me?
 
Aww bless him, is it lice? Wiggly things you can see in the pig itself? They are easily treated and no need for a vets appointment. Gorgeous Guineas (they are online) LiceNEasy is fantastic. I swear by it.

If mites then you can't see them and there is usually hair loss in the affected areas and will need Xeno 450/50 depending on age or injections from a vet. I always go for the spot on Xeno as it is less stressful for the animal.

Good luck!
 
Yep, little white wiggly things I can see on him.

Does Gorgeous Guineas ship to the US?
 
I'm sure they do. May be worthwhile getting some shampoo from the vets for him in the meantime and get some Lice N Easy in! :)
 
You can use human head lice shampoo. If possible try to buy one that is based on natural substances.
