Elsie's ugly teeth

- My home, ruled by pigs!
Well, I am home now (I was posting from work). I didn't find the dip in the pet store. I did purchase a product called "Nature's Gaurdian". It is a mixture of oils than can be sprayed on the pet lightly and on the bedding.
When I came home and inspected the girls it appears that they have no chiggers on them! I even took Elsie out and placed her on a baby blanket and it remained clean!!! I sprayed the oils on her and combed her hair with the flea comb and it was clean. YAY!
Elsie continues to have a good appetite for now. I moved the grid cage with the fleece bottom in the living room and put them in there for some exercise.

I quit. I took Elsie out to give her oxygen because she was breathing hard and chiggers began appearing and falling off her on to the blanket.
I am so very upset. I will have to go online now and see if I can get some lymdyp sent to me. I don't know what else to try at this point.

No, I mean falling off her on to the blanket she was sitting on. I can't even hold her to give her oxygen. That's what I was doing when I found them on her again. I have to quickly bring the blanket to the sink and get them off and down the drain.
Tomorrow I will strip the cage again and clean with vinegar. I was just reading about using vinegar on them on Wikepedia.

Thanks so much guys. I really need it now. I tried to speak with my vet today to request a lyme/sulfur dip but the message didn't get relayed properly. So, when I called back I was told that I could use Frontline.
When I got there to pick up some Enalapril I spoke to another vet. She spent some time on the VIN and printed out a conversation for me where a vet asked for help with "red mites" that infected all the small animals at a Petco. He was advised he could use a solution of 1ml Ivermectin to 100ml water and spray the cages after cleaning them. So, I opted for that for now. Another suggestion was Carbaryl powder and also Pyrethrin spray.
She said to reapply Revolution after 7 days so I will try that too.
I threw most of their blankets and towels out. I just can't believe this is happening right now.
On Thursday the LymDyp I ordered will arrive. I think I still should use it.
MUM, can you please email me or post how you give your guys the treatment? Is it possible for me to do it in my bathroom? The weather is in the 90's here and muggy so I'm not sure I should bring the girls outside on my deck to do it.
