I have 2 pigs and have lice and white eggs on them, they had same problem at 8 weeks so i injected them and all cleared up.Now they are 3 weeks off slaughter and booked in they are 21 weeks old,.Is it still ok to inject so close to slaughter? i have rubbed some lice powder on them tonight.

It should give you a meat withdrawal time on the medicine bottle

It's normally a 28 day withdrawal for the injectable wormers I use (and I like to add an extra 2 weeks on top of that just to be extra sure) But maybe lice powders and external treatments are a shorter withdrawal, I'm not sure :-\
Can you re-book their date just to be certain ?
