I posted on here about a week ago that one of my piggies, Snak-Pak was itching so much he had scabs and was scratching them open again. On Tuesday I was checking him over and it looked like he was losing hair on his belly. I took him to the vet and he really didn't seem to know what he was talking about. He was reading stuff from a book and telling me stuff I already knew. He did a test for mites and lice, which came back negative and then tried to tell me that he could have ringworm but I really don't think that is it. I work at Petsmart and I have treated sick piggies with ringworm and I don't see anything like it on Snak-Pak.
After a very expensive bill the vet told me to give him 1cc of Baytril twice a day, and to rub a cream used for athlete's foot on his scabs. I had to separate my two piggies but they seem very lonely since the separation. Both piggies are still itching and I am afraid I am treating Snak-Pak for the wrong thing. My boyfriend thinks Ivermectin will do the trick but before I do that I want to know what you all would do. Thanks! x>>
