For the last 2 weeks, Bocefus has been scratching almost right in the middle of his back and also started biting back there too. There is clearly hair loss and I was worried about mites. I googled and looked at pictures here on the site and that's what his pattern of loss looks like. So I took him to the vet last tuesday and told him I think it might be mites. He has always been very good to my pigs. He looked Bocefus over and perscribed Conofite and panalog[?]. When I first got Bo he had a fungal infection so I knew what those medications were right away and it sounded wrong. Well I've been using them as perscribed for the last week and yesterday when I got home from work, Bocefus' hair loss loked twice as bad. I called my vet this morning and he said to just continue with the conofite and panalog. Should I try taking him to a different vet? Is it mites OR a fungal infection and how can I be sure . . . ?
