We have only had Ninja for 5 days, the night i got her i noticed she had scabs and white falkey stuff mostly behind the ears so i did a heap of google reserch and came to the conclusion it was caused by mites (she also has a few black spots like flees but they dont move) so on the advise from a vet ive treated her with Revolution. Last night i noticed she was scratching heaps, is there anything else that I can do for her?

When did she have the Revolution treatment? It takes a few days for the mites to start to die off, and pigs are often itchier right after they start a treatment. But you can't use two different treatments at the same time. They're chemically similar, and you can overdose your pig.

In case you ever need it again, you can treat yourself with ivermectin for much cheaper than you can go to the vet.

I started it on Saturday. I went to a vet / pet store so i was lucky to get the advice free. I thought her itching might be due to the treatment, ill just let it do its magic thank you ��
