Hello. The cut could use some stitches, but as long as you keep it clean & treated, it should heal just fine. I would clean the wound with a good skin antiseptic like Hibiclens ( available at all pharmacies ) & clean at least twice a day. Then apply your spray. It will heal & thanks for using Boop by Petco.

You can buy some ivermectin at a farm shop and give her an injection with ivermectin. You can also get some diatomacious earth at a garden center and dust your pig with it. This will clog the tracheae (lungs) of the lice and kill them . Make sure you also meticulously clean her bedding and stable and put some diatomacious earth there as well.

You can use some Bag Balm on affected areas. There are sunscreens made specifically for pigs and livestock but you can also use a high SPF sunscreen for humans. Sullivan's Sun Guard is a popular sunscreen for pigs. Provide plenty of shade when she is outside or avoid going outside during the hottest part of the day.
