On our doctor's recommendation we moved onto Milbemycin (Interceptor) which is very expensive. Since we don't know the exact breeds in our dog, we used this as oppose to Ivermectin, which can be dangerous to some breeds. This also had no good results. We are now on Promeris. We just bathed her and put it on about a week ago, June 28, 2009. Since we stopped the dip, her hair is pretty much grown back but the scrapings still say she has all stages of the mites in large numbers on her. We will keep our fingers crossed that Promeris works. I will leave follow-ups about our results |
We're doing well so far with the Promeris. We're going on our second dose and although we still have some Demodex, I think Guppy's doing much better. His skin has only a few areas, like under his ears, that still seem to have any problems. I'll keep posting back as well and please do let me know how you make out. Thanks and good luck. Marcye
