I’ve been really ashamed to say this, but on friday, whilst I was giving them their Ivermectin treatments, my mom was over and she was a veterinarian’s assistant and shes way more experienced with this stuff more than I am, but I pulled up their needed dosages and my mom assisted me. I felt like something was off with the dosage we were giving to my first piggy, as it looked way more than a drop, but my mom assured me it was fine. I still felt something was off and it wasn’t until right after she put it on her, that she realized it said “.035mL” and not “0.35mL”. I IMMEDIATELY panicked and rushed her to the sink, and began washing her off. Luckily, most of it got onto her fur, and not her skin directly. I remember falling asleep next to their cage that night and waking up panicking, worried I wake up to a dead piggy, but she was perfectly fine. I watched her throught the days and she was perfectly fine.
Goes to show that I can be an idiot sometimes and to always trust my gut and double check the dosage numbers, before administering it. I feel so bad about it still, but my mom insists its her fault, and she feels awful about it as well. I feel like the worst parent ever right now and honestly I’m just glad shes okay
