Title: Mites? Post by: Nannyslayer on September 21, 2014, 07:21:44 pm Anyone's dogs ever get mites from hogs? We caught a hog a week ago yesterday and today all my dogs have little bumps on their head, ears and backs. Looks kind of like they've been shot with bird shot. All the dogs are fine, just seem like the bumps are itching them. It doesn't look like mange, but where their are clusters of the bumps the dogs have scratched a lot of the hair off.
If it is mites, how so you treat it? I poured wilder and burnt oil on them today, and will see how that helps. Title: Re: Mites? Post by: Nannyslayer on September 21, 2014, 07:22:49 pm I poured sulfur and burnt oil, not wilder. Dang auto correct

Anyone ever had this problem? Title: Re: Mites? Post by: rdjustham on September 22, 2014, 06:29:32 am Had a young dog get mites here a month or so ago. Get a back of diatamacous earth (not sure how to spell it) from tractor supply. Get the food grade, its like 5 bucks for a big sack. Dust them and where ever they lay around thoroughly with it. dust them every other day and at the end of the week wash them with dandruff shampoo (head and shoulders works good). The reapply twice a week wash again. Helped mine.

Thank ya much. I will do this, this afternoon. We are still relatively new to hog huntin in general, so this is the first time we have gotten mites. Title: Re: Post by: Fixitlouie on September 23, 2014, 09:57:06 am Sulfer should help, DE I use at tractor supply. Red lake is the brand I use for DE. I also give DE As a worming. Its cheep Permethrin is good also great as a barrier for sketers aroundthe yard
Title: Re: Mites? Post by: Reuben on September 23, 2014, 08:48:22 pm If it is mange mites or ear mites the easiest way is 1 cc ivomec under the skin and again a week later and maybe on the 3rd week but very unlikely...for a 40-60 pound dog...mites suck blood and they will die...
Title: Re: Mites? Post by: Nannyslayer on September 23, 2014, 09:57:33 pm It was time for ivomec anyways and we gave em all 1 cc (all the dogs are 65 lb range) and did what halfbreed said and today the dogs look good. Still got the bumps but not nearly as bad and they seem to be healing. We've dealt with mange in the past, but this was different.
