Hello all,
I haven't posted for a while, but I keep reading this forum.
Our boars started scratching a bit more than normal, so we decided to treat with Ivermectin, in case they have mites.
We had similar situation last year, so our vet gave us Revolution.
Revolution helped after the third treatment, but it was very expensive.
So we decided to order Ivermectin from Amazon and have it in stock.
We did 3 treatments as per guinealynx guidance. (1200g pig got 0.12 ml, 1100g pig got 0.11ml).
We applied ivermectin behind both ears.
12h after the third treatment, both pigs started scratching and bitting their sides like crazy.
It calmed down a bit since then, but it is still worse than before we began the treatment.
Is it possible ivermectin upset those mites so they started moving under the skin?
There isn't any hair loss or bald spots on them.
I'm worried why the situation got worse after 3 treatments.
Is it safe to do 4 treatments with 7 days between each?
