I have a 13 day old pig and he has mites, can I use Spot On, My Little Friends?
Hi, by what you was describing there does not sound like mites ?HonkeysMummy said:Many Thanks, I will email Chrissie.
He is not itchy, I just noticed these tiny white/brown flecks on his back at the rear, there are a fair few he I can tease some of his fur with my nails, as they are not on his skin, they are like tiny nit eggs the way they are stuck to the fur.
Hi i said it was lice didnt i ? As when you said you could see them i knew straight away it wasnt mites - Glad your getting some shampoo as this will ease his itching bless him ! :smitten:HonkeysMummy said:I emailed Chrissie, amamzing within seconds a reply to say, he has lice (now I am itching :o ) and to use Lica and Easy shampoo.
So I will be out early tomorrow trying to find some.
Yeah, like maryh said i think youll have to order it from chrissie as ive never seen lice n easy in shops beforemaryh said:I am not sure about this but I think Lice N Easy is only sold by Chrissie?.You would need to order it from her website,but you will get it in a coupla days.
Thats what i meant ! I am guessing she told her the babys age but if she didnt then maybe it is too small to bath them in any shampoo i am guessing ?maryh said:I am not sure about bathing a baby that small as I have never had to do it.You can trust Chrissies advise though.I take it that you did tell her the piggys age?.
Yeah thats a good idea the vets are the best option i took mine to the vets too and theyve gone now and that wasnt long ago a few weeks or sopiglover said:I wouldn't bath a baby as young as that, if you take him to the VET they will give you some xenex spray that is suitable for baby use - make sure you go to a cavy savvy vet, I had a baby a year or so ago with mites and Anne gave me the xenex spray and everything was ok - its herbal rather than chemical and for this purpose. I definately wouldn't bath a baby that small..............
