What is the best treatment you have used for liice?

[GeorgesHuman]

My pigs have running liice and I have tried medicated shampou. I'm due to do two more follow up's, one this afternoon, and another in a week, but the first shampou session doesn't seem to have shifted anything, and Elliot seems to be itching more than ever. Do liice make piggies depressed? I don't know if it's the liice problem, or the hot weather, but my Elliot and Oscar seem really quite lethargic and not their usual excited, popcorning selves.

Also, is it ok to put a fan in the piggies room because it's so hot? I don't want them to be catching chills. We're due to go on holiday next week and my mother-in-law is looking after them at our house. I do hope they perk up for her because she loves them x) when they wheek and are naughty little boys for her! xoxo

johnsons anti mite spray is good or a dose of ivamecton will do the job,
ivamec is available from robharvey.co.uk
look under medications to find it

Thanks Fluff, I have done the Johnson's insecticidal shampoo, but not the spray. I'll give it a go
