Does he have just this one area (around the eyes) that looks off or are there other areas also? One area (localized) is much better. Dogs have mites. His immune system must have been or be down to allow them to take over. Is his recent blood work all good?
Ivermectin is pretty normal for demodex treatment. When we thought E may have them (tests were negative), her vet was going to put her on an immune booster also.
Could be much worse, but the question is why is his immune system down...
It is sad that a specialist was needed for this. A skin scraping is like a 20 dollar, 5 minute thing at a regular vet's office.
