How do yall keep the hogs ears from getting infected and getting maggots in them when  the dogs tear them up if you want to keep the hog?

Treat it just like u would a cut dog.  But they sure don't like it.  If in a pen rig a push pole and give him antibiotics.  Works but is a pain and u have to be quick with that pole

I usually keep them in the stock trailer for a few days, maybe that is the problem since they can't get in the mud and keep the flies off. I know they don't all die when you turn them back loose. I should build a hog pen with a dirt floor.

Man, I lost a lot of hogs because of this...

Fought hogs tryin' to doctor them and still had trouble...

Finally tried a can of "wasp spray".... the stuff that shoots 20 or so feet...

Haven't had any die since.... AND I don't even got to get in the pen!!!!  Grin 

But I agree, if a hog can get to mud, they won't have any problems

Man, I've had hogs that had nothin' but 2 vamire holes and still died from the white grub... these big blow flies are rank around my house... startin' to think they're trained Grin

I don't like a dog to chew one up either... just a few generations away from having one  Grin

When, how often, and how? 

I've tried the blue spray right before I turned em into the pen and still had them get ate up...
