Not sure which. This is my first pig, but she has some external parasites. I dusted her with D.E. but some are still there.
Anyone have any ideas??

Last year two of my hogs had external parasites.
They were REALLY itchy.

I gave them Ivomec, and honestly, they stopped itching within 3 days.
I kid you not, that saved my butt.

Parsnip, did you give them Ivomec for hogs? Was it injectable, drench or pour-on?
Doesn't matter what kind as long as it's not Ivomec Plus. I pour it on or use orally. Herding dogs shouldn't use it. Hard to overdose the stuff as well.

It was Ivomec for hogs and cattle :)
Safe for both species!

I used the sub-q injection kind, but it doesn't really matte whether it's injection, drenching or pour-on.

For mites, I used Ivomec orally repeat in 10 days because it does not kill the eggs so they need to hatch.
