| How's your baby doing? Did the bumps go away? Did they figure out the cause?

| I know it's been nearly a month, but did they find out what was causing this? I sure hope by now Snuggles is much better. Please let us know, will continue to hope and pray she's fine now...

| im sorry i havent been online.even though it keeps me logged on for some reason. When we saw the dermatologist , she said it was either sarcoptic mange or airborne allergies. we were supposed to be on a shot for all three dogs every 7 days for 5 weeks in case it was mange but we only got 2 treatments done because she cleared up 3 days after the first shot. we also were not able to make it to the following ones because my husband had a temp. schedule change and wasn't able to get off work(dogs aren't considered a family emergancy ) . ( hes a cop, has had to work 6-3pm, and she is only at the hospital 9-1pm on fridays). today i noticed that the bumps are back. . i feel horrible because we didnt complete the treatment and now she has it again. and this morning we were in the hospital for Spyro and he was diagnosed with a mild case of trachea collapse. She dosen't seem irritated like the last time and i still have the cortisoothe shampoo and i just gave her some benadryl. so hopefully that will hold her off until next friday when we can see the derm again. thank you all so much for being concerned. i really appreciate all of you guys for being so caring.

| Thanks for the update...I'm sorry that it came back. How did they diagnose sarcoptic mange? Did they do a skin scrape or was it a process of elimination? I was reading that many times it goes misdiagnosed because the skin scrapes only come back positive 20% of the time even though they may have it.

| Please google mange or demodex. If your pup has mange, they should not have any cortisone drugs ie prednisone or shampoo with cortisone. Cortisone activates the mites which cannot be see by the naked eye. A vet has to scrap the skin and place under a microscope to identify. If it is manage, invermectin is excellent given on a daily basis until there is a clear scraping. Mange causes angry red bumps on the skin which also crust. Perhaps you should have a skin scraping done on all of the dogs because it does spread. Personally, I would not let my dog be dipped in any form. Take care and will follow your thread to hear how you and the pups are doing.
