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.

Not sure if it's the same thing or not. Yesterday one of my moms dogs had bumps all over him and wouldn't stop itching. Come to find out it was fire ants. She gave him a couple Benadryls and he was ok

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.

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

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...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...

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.
