Help needed...piggie with bloody scabs

I do see improvement after a day because I put Bacitracin on the bloody scabs. So, they are dried up by the next day. However, I must keep him wrapped up or else he scratches himself till he bleeds again....it's a vicious cycle.
I think being wrapped up makes it worse too..but if I leave him unwrapped the result will be the same! It's so frustrating. O:(

- You can quote me
You may want to ask your vet about Revolution (selamectin). Topically applied, it does not have ivermectin's proven safety record and opinions toward its use on this board are, I think, mixed. But I believe it can work quicker and can address entrenched cases better and faster than ivermectin.

Okay, Dr. S said Jasper was having a seizure. He is surprised that he's still suffering and wants me to bring him in. He said the med in the syringe he gave me is more effective and potent than the 1% injectable I have. The problem is I am the one who gave him the 2nd injection but I have no idea where the solution went...everything happened so fast and Jasper bolted from me so I cannot be sure the Ivermectin went in. So, he's due for a treatment Friday and Dr. S may give him a dip of something that should take care of it he said.
