Title: Just thought I would update the louse problem!
Post by: Mel on September 01, 2011, 12:13:09 am

I just wanted to say that I have injected the Ivermectin which was not that easy-my first time with boisterous pigs!But I have to say,wow,what a result! no more itching pigs,no more lice  ;D,they are really very happy now,having more tummy rubs than usual,snoring away,my oh my,it is so lovely when you are sitting there with them and they adore attention!

Amazing that an animal so strong can be so soft!

you are not wrong there,I had to laugh,watching them over the gate,how they play and-I did not actually realise how fast pigs can run from one side to the other-that's half an acre in moments ;D
