Default Re: Biting Pig

The best place to get the right Ivermectin, in the right dosage, is at the vet's office. If you feel comfortable, I think there might be websites that you can buy it on line. Not exactly sure of what website though.

Mites are microscopic, and skin scrapings have been proven to be inconclusive, but when a vet says a piggy is Mite free - the diagnosis is based on what symptoms the owner is seeing from the piggy.

Mites symptoms - scratching, biting, losing patches of fur, some Mites look like dandruff. I can't remember the name of this species of Mites.

Anyway, it is a very good idea to keep on the look out for these little beasts.
