[Gpdd] [CARE] Mites and ivermectin, home fix

[warmbreath]

To treat mites yourself

I use the Horse past version of ivermectin, comes in a tube, cost $5, one
tube treats 1200 pounds of horse. That means the piggie dose is tiny, a
small dab on the end of a Q-tip, not a glop. It should not be so big that
it starts to hang down from the Q-tip, it should be a small round amount
about the size of a small green pea.  Try to get it in the mouth but they
will clean it up. You give each pig one of these doses every  10 days to 2
weeks, 3 total doses each pig 2 or three of these courses over the summer
or another one if your weather stays warm to hot in winter. Clean all
housing, vacuum the floors and cracks and drapes and furniture where they
can hide  I hate mite, I can imagine how the piggies feel, they get in
their ears.  When I got Manny his whole butt was hairless from them. Boy
does he love me now, I think he knows I'm the human who blasted those
itchers. I like to use one dose of Frontline per year for the fleas so they
don't get immune to the ivermectin.  Ivermectin is also the basis of the
product Revolution which is prescription only, horse paste is off the shelf
at the horse or feed store, but not usually Petco.  Do not give ivermecton
to white pawed dogs, and don't give Frontline to bunnies.  Look up the over
dose instructions on the internet, I have never had a problem with a pig
but I darn near killed the cat( funny she has white paws too! But she
totally recovered but she was ice cold for a day)
Go get em.
Manny the Boar and Sandy, safe for one more day I think the landlord may
 have given up on the inspection for now, knock on wood
