right my patchyboy had mange, i took him to the vet and hes had two ivermicin injections. he had hes last injection a week ago and he keeps pullin hes hair out? why? does he need a 3rd injection?
 
It's quite possible that he needs a third injection. Best to take him back to the vet to be sure. :)
 
Yeah I would bring him back, cos usually they start getting better very fast, within a few days of the second injection. Well that's what I've seen in pigs with mange. Maybe the vet can give him something to make him less itchy. I think they can get a steroid injection or cream if they're especially itchy. Good luck.
