I am sorry but I forgot to mention we do monthly blood work to check liver function as Ivermectin in dosages given to combat Demodex can be toxic to the liver.

I was never advised to do dips - perhaps because his demodex in main was surrounding his eyes, and he had other eye problems going on at the time.

My philosophy is if the treatment works, don't mess with it, baring other serious issues or complications.

Also I have a double coated breed and I was advised to keep the coat short, and to thoroughly blow dry the coat after each bath. Humidity and moisture is a thriving environment for these mites.
