What are they giving you for this in such a young dog? There is another drug they use now as well but the name is escaping me. If it is ivermectin never mix it with ketoconozole which is an antifungal as those two are toxic together. Is the hairloss around the eyes and mostly on face or all over the body? |
Yes, it is demodex and they are giving her ProMaris which I think is basically like Frontline. 5 years??? That makes me very nervous - I was hoping this medicine would clear it up quickly. The derma vet didn't act like it would be hard to get rid of. Her hairloss is all over. Thanks for the links! Wish us luck.
