"I will not be able to sleep. My God! Can this be transmitted to the cats and the dog????"
1aicha, breeeeeathe.....c'mon. Breathe in, breath out.
There, don't you feel better?
Stop stressing so much. These things happen. You are not a bad mommy.
From what I've heard and read, guinea pig mites are species specific. So you wouldn't have to worry about that.
Fungal could be another story, but just take precautions to keep them away from each other if that's the case.
Just do like others have said. Start with the Nizoral bath, then continue on with your Ivermectin treatment.
Now, this is just me and I don't know if I should be recommending this without research to back it, BUT....
I love vitamin E oil and have put it on my pigs dry looking ears from time to time. Not a lot, just a dab or two rubbed in. I also use it on my human kids and swear by it for certain "dry/itchy skin" issues. Maybe you could try a little bit after the Nizoral bath and Ivermectin treatment? I'm sure it would do absolutely nothing for fungal though.
Good luck. And your babies will be fine!
