So I've noticed my two have been itching more frequently than I would think was normal. And today while I was holding sweet pea I saw a little brown spot that crawled back into her fur when I tried to get a closer look....
Time for a trip to the vets?
 
Oh thank goodness! Thanks Sterling.
My brain is screwing with me and making me feel all itchy.....
Feel bad for my little ones cuz they are all itchy for real...
 
Thanks lil
The link didn't work. But I found it on my own.
Now I feel bad though. Cuz I'm thinking what I thought was just a little bit of dandruff might me lice eggs....
 
So last Thursday my ratties got a dose of Revolution. Itching stopped within a few days but I think it's been starting up again.... Should I wait a little longer or give them another dose?
 
It is supposed to be good for 30 days. Since it is a poison I would not risk it. I think the likely cause is that the last eggs have hatched and the baby bugs have to bite in and get some poison so they can die too.
