I have to say that I was very annoyed by my vet's wife, also a vet in the practice, who was so quick to do a sticky tape test ($45), skin scraping ($75) and ringworm ($75) I didn't manage to deny her. I wish I had. Tux didn't make a sound or flinched, so I'm not sure what he felt. We wanted the ringworm test, to be sure, as it can spread to humans and other pets. However, almost $200 later all the tests came back negative and she treated for mites, which I already told her it was. I won't have another app with her, her husband is amazing though and would have asked and explained about every test. So, if you KNOW it's mites, treat that and make sure to treat the other pigs too. The only good thing we got that day was extra meds for future use and a handwritten note for dosages for different weights. From now on I'm treating for mites first and going from there. I'm just too scared to treat them myself.
