Hi everyone. I've been lurking around here for a few days and now its time for me to post. I have 2, 8 month old boars called drake and josh. On monday drake was acting very odd (not being his usual barmy self). I put him in the run for observation but he laid flat on the floor with his head to one side. i took him straight to the vets who thoroughly examined him but couldn't say what was wrong. she gave me liquid food, antibiotics pain killer stuff. She told me to bring him inside and separate him from josh. Anyway i didn't think he'd live the night but he did and now after hand feeding and watering him, he's much better. But now i feel very bad because i have neglected josh. I've not had him out till today and i've noticed a couple of sores on his back and side and some scaley skin. I'm taking him to the vet today but I'm after some advise before i go. I've read that it could be mites. If it is mites could drake have them too and i have a rabbit (smudge) who's hutch is under the pigs and he shares the same run (at different times though). Could he get them?
Any help would be great.
