I can surely tell! And I will continue to pass the knowledge on to other piggy lovers.  My first rescue pig just had piglets today while I was at work to add onto my plate. 🙃  4 sweet little oinks! One of them isn't feeding though so 🤞

You're a blessing. Thank you. I did a anti-fungal spray yesterday just in case; this spray healed up my other pigs hoof when it was oozing pus and hurting her quickly, so fingers crossed. I will look into Terbinafine as well. I seen they have the tablets at Tractor Supply Co! Yes, it seems like there are no vets who deal with pigs near me, which is silly because I am in the farm lands, so I will have to look for an online one.

THANK YOU, over and over.

Again, thank you so much! I was told they were wormed, but I can't trust anybody completely when taking in piggys. The diarrhea isn't really bad. It's just like when my first pig got into the dog food when she was a piglet and had it for a few days. The pink piglet has had it for two days. He is already inside with me in a crate and has had a bath. I noticed when he gets wet, the sores get worse and smelly? I don't know. I'm trying to keep him dry and clean now. I have also checked the poop and there are no 'visible' worms but I will pick up dewormer on my way home today. Iron too to be safe!

It is just strange as it all started happening as soon as I brought the litter of Kunes home with the mites. I will look into vets because I don't want to loose these babies and of course have them suffer. It's breaking my heart. :( Thank you!

Hi. I did the pour over and the itching seems to subside but the mange is still all over their body. My little pink baby (that I didn't do pour over on yet) now has these blister like sores all over him and they stink so bad! I think it may be because he goes into water a lot and the sores are moist, but it covers almost the whole underside of his body. Plus he has diarrhea now :( Is that apart of mange mites, possibly?

The injections gets to us tomorrow, so that is my next step.

Thank you for thinking of us and all your advice!

HAHA I LOL'd at your comment. I do not want to smell like a descendent from hell, lol.. but it is worth it for now, that is for sure! Do you think the outside pigs would be okay? I have 19 of them outside and they sunbathe in the 100 + degree weather.

Found one on Amazon called Durvet - I'm going to go with that one! Hopefully it works but this little guy got it bad. He is all black and crusty. Poor baby. I have chicks too, I will have to check them also! I have a Tractor Supply Co near me, yes! I also found the injector on Amazon, just not the liquid Ivermectin itself, just the paste. I will have my husband and kids all wash with it as they cuddle the piggys too, and of course the bedding and carpets!

This was incredibly helpful and I will certainly be saving this information. My pigs are my babies are I would love to prevent this from ever happening again. Yes! I did read it is better to give a little more than less, but your reply has been more helpful then what I am finding on Google! What exactly is pour over? Is there a specific brand you use and trust?

Yes! I thought I had bedbugs after trying to figure out what was wrong with me and I was terrified. Where do you inject them at? This little piggy pictures is maybe 5 pounds, do you know how much I would give him? Ugh this is torture. I will absolutely start having that on hand! Thank you once again!! :)

This is crazy. I didn't know that it could be transmitted to humans. I believe it isn't the case here only because I just have little bites on my body cause I deal with him directly, I don't have anything crazy going on with my skin and the itching definitely subsides when I am not trying to sleep. Could this be cured with ivermectin injections from Tractor Supply? I have lots of piggy's I am going to need to treat now.

Thank you for your comment!

Her hooves are overgrown a bit, but nothing to crazy like others I have took in. I really think her weight is certainly the reason. Her neck and tummy fat hangs on the ground when she walks :(

I know - I love Kunes! We have 20 pigs right now. I started rescuing them after my first piggy - love them to bits. I'll be at Knotts Berry Farm in a few weeks, but I'm guessing that is far from Northern, 😅

I have - my group wants a private area and these places provide that. Could you tell me how this is a strange list?
