I'm sorry it took so long to get a diagnosis. I know it's frustrating. Good luck to you and your baby. I'm thinking of you both. |
Just the eyes...but it's not like they checked his ears...actually now I wonder if he has them anywhere else?

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. |
I am worried if he might have mites in his ears too? Should I ask my vet to check just in case???
