Question
Please help me I think my piggie is dying. I got the ivermectin paste now what do i do?

Answer
In order to work properly you need the ivermectin injection, or go to the vet and get a shot of ivermectin. You can use the topical ivermec, but it doesn't fully work as the mites are under the skin and in a few months you will go through the same problem if it even helps at all. I have all the doses for ivermec injection on my website as well as other information, http://woopets.bravehost.com under guinea pig information.
