Do piggies just scratch anyway?????

[fudgeandsmudge]

Hi i've bathed my piggies twice in lice n easy as when i had them they came with little fiends!!!
I'm not sure whether they've all gone, especially seeing as i was nervous of washing their faces with the shampoo. Its been a couple of weeks now and i can't see any lice but they still scratch.
Do they just scratch anyway? Or does this always indicate a problem?
I would bath them again, but now i think that one of my girls is pregnant (caught before i bought her from the petshop )
and i don't really want to put her through the stress of a bath at moment whilst she is getting so big. Can you use the spot on Beaphar treatment from pets at home which looks like it is successful on pregnant piggies. I'm assuming not but just thought i'd ask.
Will i just have to wait a few weeks until babies born?

Guinea pigs will just have a little scratch here and there. But it shouldnt be too much. YOu can use the spot on stuff for them yes. As if shes in early pregnancy it shouldnt bother anything. If in doubt just use half the dosage.

Iv treated pregnant sowns and young pups before but i just halfed the dose.

I may just do that to make sure i've got them all, would hate for her to pass them on to any babies if she has got them. I'll use half dose just to be on safe side as i've no idea how far along she is. I'm assuming that the other sow i have in same cage as her can just have the normal dose and that won't affect the pregnant one? Sounds a daft thing to say but i'm just absolutely making sure!!!
