Lily is showing signs of mites:


I bought ivermectin pour on and have a needleless syringe


I confirmed the current weight of my pigs:
Lily - 1.261kg *.2 = .2522 ivermectin
Marshmallow - 1.251kg *.2 = .2505 ivermectin

I give this dose once a week for three weeks and I clean the cage with vinegar and water, and use freshly (hot water) washed fleece each time. It's my understanding that I need to replace my wooden houses because they can't be fully cleaned:


Is this treatment plan correct? Thanks so much.

I am not familiar with the dosage for pour-on, but I'll look it up.

As for the houses, the mites can't live on them, so you can keep them.
