My collie had demodex mites once. I didn't know you could diagnose from a fecal? My vet had to take a scraping. By the way, all dogs have these mites but they normally live down in the hair follicle. When they get out of control, they cause problems hair loss on the surface. It usually signals some kind of problem with the immune system although some dogs are born with it and battle it all their lives. But your new guy has had a lot of stress so I'd imagine that once he's settled in things will get better! Good luck! |
