I've come back from two weeks holiday, and I've just discovered that my pigs have lice. I have no idea how they could have got them, and I'm sure they didn't have them before I went. The only thing I can think is that the person who was looking after them was in contact with an animal that had lice and brought the eggs to them by accident. The shops are shut now, so I'll have to wait til tomorrow to get some Advantage to treat them. I feel bad for them being itchy and irritable, and was wondering whether it was worth bathing them. I've never bathed them before, so would the stress of having a bath perhaps outweigh the relief from the itching (if it will actually make any difference anyway).
Also, I feel itchy now!
