Perhaps she is stressed because your grandpa is sick.
If you are concerned about the baths, ask the vet about them, but from what I understand it is very serious and if not treated it will spread.
I hope Sissy and grandpa are both doing better soon. |
Foods are mentioned
only as a support to the immune system -- not to help or cure the mites. Vet info on this type of mite infestation details the importance of supporting the immune system.
Most dogs do carry some of these mites, but when their immune system is stressed or down, they are more susceptible to them getting out of control. Then it becomes a catch-22 as the infestation further compromises their immune system. So -- building the immune system is an important part to getting back to full health. The better the dog's immune system, the more they can conrol the mites.
