As for the vet, they should do a skin scraping at the very least. Many times though, vets can't find the mites under a scope/scraping, so sometimes a biopsy is necessary if they really do think it could be mites.

| i may try to feed her four times a day a little larger scoops and take up the free feed, just to see how she does, my hubbie is home with her all day and she's only alone 3 hours, so maybe she can handle her raw meals better. hopefully it's not mites *yikes* |

I mean no disrespect to your Aunt, and maybe this recipe is properly balanced - but my advice would be to explore whether or not it is, just to be on the safe side...especially w/ a pup so young.
