Just don't let the vet do a skin scraping for the mites. Unless they happen to hit the exact area where the mites are, they are most likely to get a false negative. And besides, it hurts. Doing a proper course of ivermectin won't hurt your piggy if it doesn't have mites and if it does it will just get rid of them. There is a really good thread with directions on how to treat for mites with ivermectin. I don't have time to find it right now but maybe someone else can post the link.
Also make sure of the sex of your piggy before you get it a friend. This is something the vet should be able to do when you take it in. |
