I have a trio (1 boar, 2 sows).
A few weeks ago, I noticed my boar scratching alot.
A week last Thursday I treated him with ivermectin spot on, then last Tuesday I noticed a horrible scratch mark on his back (see pic), which then turned scabby and I was worried it would be infected underneath, so took him to the vet on Wed.
They confirmed this is typical Mites and that my treatment was correct, they gave him something to help with itching.
Thursday I gave the second dose of ivermectin.
Friday the original scab lifted and skins has healed underneath.
Today I have noticed he has a fresh wound near it (making classic V line in the hair on his back) have sprayed with Leucillin.
My query is... typically how long after ivermectin would you expect to stop seeing fresh wounds? Either from itching or Mites?
When should I expect things to improve for him?
Thank you in advance
