Ivermec treats most parasites.  

Answer 2

Yes they can- fleas and intestinal parasites, mites and all sorts of critters.

It is important to go to the vet and find out what kind of parasite you have, because each parasite has a different treatment AND most important, the treatment is by weight- which means your Guinea pig will get weighed before each treatment- also the vet can check to make sure the treatment has worked and the bugs are gone...

Don't use cat or dog parasite medication, or shampoo on a G.Pig please!!!

Answer 3

yes they can get both take them to the vet and they can worm them if not they can die from internal parasites and fleas and mites can also be treated but if you keep the cage clean it rare for them to get mites and dont use pine bedding because it can have mites in it and it bothers there senses, plus you can bath them just don't use anything in the water unless it comes from the vet, vet visits are not very expensive, good luck
