My guess would be that the mites never did get taken care of all the way.
Maybe I'm thinking of something else, but can't Ivermectin be used for that?
Isn't the a standard treatment? Not Heartgard but an off-label dose or am I thinking of something else...? |
ivermectin is used for demodex mange not sarcoptic mange - for sarcoptic mange (scabies) revolution can be used to rule it out but if scabies by now you would have it too as my grandma's yorkie had scabies and she got it as it is contagious to humans. Demodex is a mite from the mother dog that is seen in puppies with poor immune systems as we all have mites in our skin but when we have a poor immune system the mites take over causing demodex which is stinky moist spot usually around the face area but my friends yorkie has it on her back a round stinky moist spot and she uses interceptor daily as opposed to ivermectin as her yorkie got ivermectin toxicity from a derm prescribing ketoconazole and ivermectin together which you NEVER do as the ketoconazole breaks the blood barrier wall allowing the ivermectin to go straight to the brain and her yorkie went into a coma
she is alive now but it was horrible and costly mistake this derm made
