Can you tell us exactly what shampoo you used and what was in it? I'm concerned because I can't think of a single thing, except lymdyp, that you might have used safely.I hesitate to dose topically because I don't know if/how it will interact with whatever was in the shampoo that works on the lice.
I cannot believe I missed this

It was a Lyme Sulfur Bath. It was specifically used for the lice. The Ivermectin is for the mites. The vet is closed so I can't call and ask if it's okay to treat topically on top of the Lyme Sulfur stuff. But, even if I did reach him, he would have recommended dosing orally.
Whittibo, I know you said to use it full strength - do you know if that applies orally as well as topically?
I feel like I'm in the twilight zone. I just want to get the damn Ivermectin into the damn pigs and get this show on the road.

Well, I just found this info

And now I am lost too. I haven't treated orally, so I don't know anything about it. But it does say to dilute it. :s

I want to post this here, hopefully someone can comment on this.
Apples was treated on Monday with Ivermectin. Monday she should get her second treatment which Truffie can give.
Snickers and Sugar (all these foods are making me hungry) were treated for their mild case of lice today with the bath.
Two possible solutions to get all the pigs on the same Ivermectin schedule.
1.) Have Snickers and Sugar wait 4 more days till they can be treated with topical Ivermectin, which would be the same day as Apples second treatment.
2.) Treat Snickers and Sugar today, and wait till day 10 to give Apples her second treatment, which would then be day 7 for Snickers and Sugar.
My personal feeling is this. Snickers and Sugar have little to no symptoms and were treated with the bath today, so that will provide some relief. But making Apples, who is worse off, wait the extra 3 days might not be in her best interest.
I know they have to be treated simultaneously, and that doesn't mean on the same exact schedule, but I think it would be way easier to have them all on the same schedule if at all possible.
I just don't know which schedule would be best at this point.

Same schedule is always easiest. My brain is foggy, though, so there's now way I can work out what you you were saying about all the different pigs schedules :-p
I've never dosed orally - I always do it topically, either with injectable or pour-on. There's no problem doing it after lymdyp.
Topically works best for lice also, although the lymdyp will have taken care of them.

Lets see, I know I don't make since, I'll try again. To get them on the same schedule Truffie can;
1.) Dose the 2 pigs today and make Apples wait till day 10 for her second treatment.
2.) Wait 4 days to dose the new pigs that got baths today, start them on Monday when Apples gets her second treatment.

Yes!! I waited about 3 hours before picking up Apples, and by then she was dry and barely smelled, but I only left Snickers and Sugar about 1.5 hours today. When I picked them up they were still wet, and smell-y! When I hold Apples to give her AB's, my hands smell afterwards - and she was "dipped" 3 days ago!That lymdyp is fantastic stuff, isn't it? Stinky as heck, but instant death to a bunch of nasties at once!
BTW, Sugar also has mites. No evidence on Snickers of anything. All treatment of her is precautionary. I'm going every 7 days with Apples, cause her case is so severe.
I understand the oral dosing now - it's as I thought earlier - 9 parts Canola oil, 1 part Ivermectin, and dose according to chart, which I've printed out.
