🐷 Sarcoptic Mange in pigs 🐷
Sarcoptic mange is caused by microscopic Sarcoptes scabiei mites that burrow into the skin. It can cause severe itching, redness, hair loss, crusting, and thickened skin, commonly around the ears, face, and neck.
It’s highly contagious but treatable. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can help keep your pig comfortable and prevent spread to other pigs. 🩺🐖
