my dog has horrible allergies, suppressed immune system with temarilp for 2 years and horrible allergies since 6 months old and does not have demodex and never has and she is also hypothyroid as well which is a suppressed immune system disease. She does not have demodex so she would be a perfect candidate if it was soley on immune system and that was all it was based on so this comes from the mama dog and is transmitted to the babies sadly
My friends dog has no allergies, no thyroid issues and has this and has had it since a pup and she is a puppy mill pup
the prob is people keep inbreeding the heck out of this breed and we end up with all these dogs with poor immune system issues like this just like if we inbred humans we would have major issues
and these poor dogs and owners suffer
