[gemy]

Here is my opinion for this condition in this instance as described. It presents a philosophical viewpoint if you will, or my stance on health care.

I try to weigh all the risks versus benefits of a particular condition and treatment thereof. If my vet prescribes an "aggressive" treatment I would want to know why.

In my opinion mange can get out of control pretty quickly especially if there are underlying other health factors, and you don't know that at the initial diagnosis of Mange. If a three month dose of Ivermection can avoid this, with minimal risk to the liver, and the proper screening of liver function, then I say go for it.

If keeping the hair short and blow drying, and having a de-humidifier in the room works to keep moisture at bay so be it.

I also wash out his crate daily with a mild bleach solution and our den/doggy room.

I also say go for grain free, yeast free diet, and immune supportive herbs.
