Sarcoptic mange is very insidious and persistent, and can lead to many other problems. You need a vet to treat this, as a shots are the most efficacious treatment with followup. This is caused by a mite that is very hard to eradicate on your own, and untreated can seriously and dangerously affect your little pig's health.
