Dry peeling skin

Question
I have a 10 month old black pot belly  and he has been having dry cracking and peeling skin on his rear and around his neck. Its leaving white patches where he's scratched against the corral boards what can I do for him?

Answer
Hello Dee-Anna,
Pigs have a tendency to have very dry skin.  Mange mite can also cause more skin problems.
I would recommend worming your pig with Ivomec.  This will kill inside and outside parasites.  It is recommended that you give them at least two doses....the second two weeks after the first.
Please contact your Vet and they will do a skin scraping and give you a treatment plan.
There are also products that can help a great deal with the dryness and flaking after the Worming.
Go to royaldandie.com and check out there products.  They work very well.
Good luck,
Patty
