Have you had a skin scraping done or a biopsy of the site? I wouldn't just treat for mites without knowing whether they are there or not. We had to do treatments on our first Yorkie and they are hard on them. We were also given a cream to rub on him for some relief.
Please make sure the food you are feeding doesn't contain tapioca, rice, grains or potatoes. If this is a yeast issue all of those things will only make it worse.
I would also cut his hair short...not only will it give him some relief but it will also give you and your vet a chance to really see what's going on...the hair will grow back, believe me. Boog lost about 99% of his hair when he was a puppy because of Demodectic mange but once he was treated his coat grew in shiny and beautiful.
Good luck with your baby...I truly know how hard this is on all of you. |
