This is not a good idea. Most flea medications specified for a cat are meant to be used only on a cat. The internal systems and skin absorption works very different in guinea pigs in comparison to cats. If your guinea pig has a flea problem, it is best to take the animal to a vet who is trained to work with cavies or rabbits if at all possible. If not, the best thing you can do is find rabbit (if guinea pig flea medications are not available) flea wipes or dips and use them in a diluted form. Often times pet stores will carry a rabbit flea medication that also gives cavy instructions on the back. If your cavy is kept indoors, make sure to also clean carpets, rugs, and bedding that your guinea pig may come in contact with to ensure the fleas don't keep spreading. It is also important to ensure other pets aren't spreading the fleas to one another, so if you also have a cat with fleas, use the drops on the cat but use an alternative method for the guinea pig.
It is important to always consider the weak internal systems of the guinea pig and take care to not use anything that is not reccomended for cavies.
