Xeno 450 Mite treatment advice please

[gingerpig]

I am treating all mine for mites with Xeno 450 spot on from the vets today.

Can I put the guineas back in the run all together after treatment or should they be kept separate?

(Thank you)

Are you treating guineas that live together?

 

[gingerpig]

Yes, they live together and I'm treating their hutch as well.

 

[piglover]

Yeah, when my pooks had mites even though he lives alone the vet gave me enough to treat Cubby & Golly next door too as a precaution as they are all in the same room so £55 later............plus you have to clean out the cage / run etc

They don't hump or anything so presumably won't lick the stuff off each other? Was just wondering if each pig ought to be kept separate for half an hour or something?

 

[gingerpig]

Should I be treating the wood on the run as well, and their little wooden house? It could be a very long job :-\

I think it would be alright putting them back together after treating them. Give the vets a little ring and ask. O0

They might actually lick each other - when I did Cubby & Golly, Cubby wouldn't leave Golly alone he kept licking his back, but that was ages ago and they are fine!
