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.
