It took chachi about 5 dips before he was mite free but again his case sounds alot worse than yours |
Research it before putting it down, please. I have personally dealt with dogs who have gotten very ill from the dips vets prescribe a lot. They can be extremely toxic and wreak havoc on the hypothalamus.
Also, OP...go grain free, yeast free if at all possible because the mites thrive on them.
