Subject: Mites
Hi, I have two piggies, Bonnie and Lucy and unfortunately Bonnie has managed
to pick up mites. They have both been to the vets and have each had two
injections 7-10 days apart. The vet has told me that it could take up to 3 or 4
injections before they are clear of mites (Lucy has no sign of them). Is
this just a money spinner for the vets or do they really need that many
injections? I did try bathing them both a few times but it didn't seem to work,
apparently the pet shop sold shampoos aren't strong enough to kill the mites,
which in itself seems a rip-off. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jo, Bonnie and Lucy
