Well, we have had her dipped a total of 3 times now with two weeks between dips and here is how the progression went
First two weeks - huge decrease in itching and about day 12 my wife noticed hair regrowth everywhere.
Second two weeks Major hair regrowth. no more bad smell all is well.
Third two weeks. We take her to the vet to get dipped again and she dips her and says we won't need to bring her back unless anything changes. We had noticed a bump on her that was exactly the same as the first bumps that started all this mess. She said don't worry about it unless they get worse. well, here we are towards the end of the third two weeks and she has had a total of 8 new bumps.

This is very upsetting to me because I don't think it is the red mange causing the bumps. I think whatever caused the bumps cause the decline in her immune system which allowed the mange to thrive. I am taking her back to the vet as soon as they are open again to see what they say. If she says it's the mange i will most likely ask her not to do anything but rather take her to a dermatoligist. It's upsetting because i am close to $800 into this endeavor and i feel like i am back to square one.
