Mites?

Poor lad must be really itchy hope it continues to die down for him

Unless things have changed in 3 years I agree with @Free Ranger when I had to treat mine it was 3 doses 2 weeks apart. I've just looked it up in the notebook I keep on treatments the piggies have had. I think your vets have made a mistake.
I hope your boys are back to normal very quickly, mine were.

I'm having to do the same with the girls lice.

It's possible Little won't have any problems at all as he shouldn't have had such a heavy infestation.

The first vet to give me 450 for a 1.05 kilo pig said 'try not to put the lot on - kinda... keep the last bit in the syringe(?)" which I did try to do but it came out in a glob and I ended up getting it on me too (and just wiping my fingers on my sow!) It was either that or do 5 pipettes plus of the mini one I suppose. If you're worried perhaps try putting half on Little, leaving for a few hours, and then adding the rest? You would feel reassured that he definitely was under-dosed for weight so any adverse discomfort had to be from dying mites, not side-effects ... and he would get the full whack in the end. If you could get hold of a tiny syringe it could help?

I would also do it in the morning too (if you are around to monitor?) as it's harder to cope when everyone's tired. Be brave BB!

I think I will give it in two goes for Little, I didn’t even think of that - thank you!
We meant to do BB’s treatment this morning/early afternoon but just completely forgot. When we remembered is when we put it on him and we didn’t think we’d still be dealing with it after 2 hours since last time there was no issues.
He seems okay now, thankfully. His ears feel really hot compared to Little’s, though.

Poor old BB - you'll be in my prayers tonight
Thank goodness it's calmed down. Have a nice drink of water and cool off x
