[Gpdd] Health Mites

[Carole Appleby]

Hi to my shock and horror my piggies have mites. I dont know how they got them or where from. I have had quite a lot of pigs for the last 6 years and never had this problem before. Poor Misty is the worse i noticed a small bald patch that she was biting at and it was very red. So i took her straight to the vet. It was mites so they gave me the drops they have on there neck to be repeated in 2 weeks. When i came home from work today i was shocked the bald patch was huge and all weepy and bloody. I bathed it with salt water and she has some antibiotics. I dont no what else to do. I thought about cutting a sock up and put it round her middle to stop her scratching. Am i doing all i can or has anyone any ideas please,
   Thankyou Carole and poor very sore misty
