Dave - I read all your blog - and many others - Thank You for your concern and comments.
Took Little Man for his 2nd Mitaban dip and new Rx for Septra. Seems his body is healing, but the mange has started again all over his head and ears, now! Horrible cheesy smell!!
I also saw on one post something about vaccine allergies and a vascular problem - the pics on that post looked just like Little Man's ears - but my vet - again - seems unconcerned!!
Financially we cannot afford to consult with another vet and start this 'screening' process all over again! I don't know what to do.
His hair IS beginning to grow back - but the long hair that I DID leave on his face, ears, and spine are grossly covered with a cheesy-waxy yuck that smells so bad!! Smells like you stuck your head in a jar of PIZZA CHEESE that has been left out in the heat!
I will probably shave and clip the remaining hair tomorrow so as the stuff crusts over I can comb it out more easily and thoroughly. Saw some posts that say this is yeast - hmmmm....maybe I can sprinkle him with Zeeasorb-AF powder???
Bad part is that IF this is Red Mange, and it IS caused by stress - well, I may as well put Little Man down as we are planning a 10-day trip to Disney in Fl. at Easter for our entire family (21 ppl) and he will have to be boarded. I can't bear the thought of him having to go thru this again! He is so precious - and we have already lost 2 other yorkies from old age in 2008. - I will have to do everything I can think of to build his immune system or this will start all over again.
I am lost, broke, heartbroken, stressed out - good thing I can't get Red Mange!
