Mini pig has rash and raw skin, no vet available, what to do?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Farm Animal | Pig | Male | neutered | 2 years and 1 month old | 80 lbs

My mini pig has a Rash (either from new skin supplement or ants) and has rubbed ant bites he got raw, which I'm pretty certain the ones by his pee hole are infected (I boarded him for the weekend going out of town Friday morning, fine, and came back to this) what do you recommend I do?? Please help, I just got back tonight and have no vet open living out in the middle of no where. He has no pain when its touched, lets me clean it fine, and has been given a bath to see if that will help.

I suggest you apply this wound spray 3-4 times per day. If that doesn't help within a few days then he needs to see a vet. Also, monitor him closely to be sure he is urinating OK. It almost looks like urine scald like he has been laying in urine. It does not look like ant bites.
