Well i took him in today with me to work because i found something crusty and gross on his back and as i'm telling the techs that i found it and wanted them to look at him one comes around the corner and says I KNOW WHY...his fecal came positive for Demodex mange/mites. YUCKY. so now he's on promeris for every two weeks and then a skin scrap to recheck in 8 weeks. luckily it's not contagious to Sadie unless her immune system drops really low but she's in great health.

pray for Bentley tho, i want his poor skin to heal up and all the dermatitis and mange to go away and heal.
