Oh don't get me wrong, my vet did recomend the mitoban baths...but he also mentioned that even though it goes away - it can and probably will come back. This started about 2 yrs ago, and i did my research then. The baths worked wonders, and we've already had two rounds of them. My Skeeter has always been my sickly baby, and every time he sneezes, I pay out the woohoo. He is starting to smell funky again despite the weekly bathing.
The cost doesn't bother me....my Skeeter managed to fracture his back, and tho my vet said I needed to put him down, I refused and paid the enormous cost for the back surgery,... and he is still here walking and being the best a yorkie can be! Oh, what we do for our babies!
...ooh, by the way, demodectic mange is transfered to the newborn - when they haven't built up immunity - during nursing..from the mother, so if that's what ur baby has, pls don't breed her and pass this on.
Poor Skeeter, I don't think anyone else would find him as cute as i do - with his bald head and all, i will try to post pics soon.
