I noticed that Effy had tiny black dots on her fur and after research can confirm that they are hay/static mites. What is the best treatment? I'm from Australia and can't buy the shampoos that are often recommended such as Gorgeous Guineas Lice n Easy. Would a regular bath and a treatment of ivermectin work? Where could I buy ivermectin? Thanks.
 
Please have your piggy seen by a vet to be given the correct prescription strength ivermectin treatment and at the correct course length (it’s usually three separate treatments with a couple of weeks between each treatment) to cure the issue.
Please don’t be tempted to use any anti parasite product you can buy off the shelf at a pet shop as they are not strong enough to actually cure the problem

My piggies have had mites. They will clear up very quickly with the vet strength medication.
